If we lose out, would it change your perception of Wojo?

When a basketball player punches a student he's a thug, front page news and a reason to stop cheering

When a student punches a student he's Southside Irish, and a reason to do shots.

Dude punched a kid, in college.  BFD.

Well said.  Marquette has largely done quite well to avoid major off-court incidents as happen frequently at other high major football/basketball schools.  18-22 year old men make a lot of bad decisions in college, whether athlete or just a student.

The sexual assault issues of a few years ago, were of course, very bad P.R. for the university.  Would be very curious to learn who was involved if someone would PM me?

Ah, Grebe's. 10 cents per roll and 10 cents per slice of ham. Dinner for 60 cents. Those were the days.

Consideration is being given to another contract extension as we speak. Everyone on the BOT thinks Lovell walks on water . As long as Lovell  is in the power position he is going to keep his boy in the job. Scholl will carry any water he is told to carry.

So, fire Lovell LOL

It needs to be strongly suggested to Wojo next year however that he bring in either a veteran X's and o's guy, or a defensive minded guru. I think Wojo thinks he has this all under control, when in reality, he doesn't.

He has acknowledged defense is not where it should be and has said that is on him

You really enjoy making Scoop Takes, don't you?

[MU82]

Giving him only four seasons is what should happen.  You are probably right about what will.

As I suggested, that 5th season will be very quiet and MU will have severely damaged their future revenues.

What if, in that 5th year, with the Warriors playing in a new building and with a mature, talented team, Wojo leads us to the Elite 8 or better?

[Newsdreams]

Eh, coaches are paid to win. If he's not doing that enough, they should drop him. A guy not living up to expectations doesn't need to be held onto any longer just because they think he's a swell guy.

But what if according to the long term plan he presented he is on schedule thus meeting expectations

[Spaniel with a Short Tail]

Weighing in, stick with Wojo. Seen enough good on court that I'm optimistic going forward so that a poor finish to this year no matta. Helps that they are playing an exciting style of basketball. I am also giving him credit for a positive off court product. Finally, transfers no matta also.

Wojo contract extension will be announced after season over. Lovell and Scholl worked out deal to make sure he can tell every recruit he will be there for the duration. BOT 100 percent on board with the deal.

Best we can hope for is NC State steps up to the plate and offers him a chance to get back into the ACC.  I think he takes that in a heart beat.

Or ... the best many true MU fans can hope for is that we finish this season strong, gain an NCAA bid, win a tourney game or three, win 25-plus next season, have a great tourney run, Wojo keeps recruiting great and keeps improving as a game coach, and we're damn glad our successful coach has a contract extension.

I never would have guessed 40%. That seems like a ton of turnover. I guess I just always worry there's something going on behind the scenes that could become a bigger issue when I see a kid leave.

Everyone wants playing time most think they can make nba. There are so many leagues for kids and there are "stars" in all of them. Then they come to next level and don't get even half playing time they used to and decide to go somewhere else.

They won't offer and he wouldn't take it.

Come on..... 

You really want him gone and the very real chance that Markus and Sam leave too (and Joey no longer considers us)? 

Excellent logic.

Care to make a wager on either of these proclamations?

You haven't heard? Stan Johnson is the man. We would be in the top 25 right now if only Wojo would take the shackles off Stan and allow him to coach with no limitations.

To be honest, I do think Stan is the man. But I am far from convinced that he can coach. At least any better than Wojo can.

That would be fantastic.  I would super enjoy watching that on TV with my MU flag outside the house, with occasional scalped tickets to watch in person.

No sh**.

I agree with this analysis.

I agree. I thought guys were joking talking about that as a possibility. If he could parlay this into ACC job he is in the wrong racket. He'd prove to be the greatest closer ever and should go help Trump with trade deals.

He is a good recruiter, but I am not aware of any university recruiting him to head coach. Being able to recruit does not mean you can coach.
