After seeing the hatred he was getting from fans yesterday I wouldn't be surprised if he was advised to do so. Lots of personal attacks at him and some at his family.

I don’t blame him. These past 24 hours have been an embarrassment for the Marquette community, and quite a bit of that embarrassment has come from members on this message board. If you are over 25 and are calling for another person to lose his job while hiding behind a moniker you are part of the problem.

Great reporting Derek Rose. Maybe a raise. What a piece of crap that guy is. (Too be clear, I'm not about Wojo or just this one tweet)

I'm not sure I agree with you a hundred percent on your police work, there, Lou.

What if I am 25, but like 25 and 3 months...does that make me over 25, or am I just 25? Wondering if I can continue to safely talk stuff behind my monitor/moniker. You are the stuff-talking gatekeeper so I suppose you can help clarify.

Not condoning this behavior whatsoever, it's totally wrong. That being said, if he deleted it because he doesn't want to hear criticism(not hatred), then maybe he should win games in the tourney. Especially as a higher seed.

Sure, I’ll clarify. A moniker is another word for an alias. When people call for someone to be fired and don’t use their real name and instead a username, also an alias, also a moniker, they embarrass themselves and the Marquette community at large.  If you need more help with the word moniker Webster’s has an awesome online dictionary you can check out.

Your moniker is now #TheGatekeeper

All criticism of Wojo without official signature and stamp “embarrasses the Marquette community.” So let it be written.

And if people disparaged or threatened Wojo's family, that is reprehensible behavior.

All that being said, there is a significant difference between the coach of a college basketball program (which arguably spends more on its program that 95% of the other programs) and Jim in accounts payable. 

Jim is not making $2 million a year in a high profile job.  Criticism of the head coach goes with the territory.

I’m not saying he can’t be criticized, and I’m not saying you can’t ask for him to be replaced. What I am saying is that if you are going to publicly call for another person to be fired from their job have the courage to attach your name to it.

I know what you are saying, but I also believe having fans ask for your head (even anonymously) goes with the job.

I’m a visual learner...can you draw a diagram of the valid emotional responses to a blowout loss in the first round of the tournament? I’m not sure it applies to me because of my age but maybe you can include the age limits in the diagram?
