wojo extended for 5 years

[muguru]

The problem with one coach is that drip drip drip drip wouldn't stop and thus ended up where it did.  No one is saying Boy Scouts are needed, and yes kids do dumb things at that age....sometimes serious dumb things that don't make the front pages.  Bob Knight and staff controlled Bloomington PD for the most part and handled it inside.  Packers had some bad stuff happen in early 90's that was swept under the rug.  Doesn't mean it didn't happen.  Frequency was one of the problems with Buzz, along with the lying that went with it.

You certainly never waste a moment to bash Buzz do you?? CONSTANTLY saying something about the negatives with him...yet almost never mentioning all the on court success he had. Hypocritical much??

   dgies-

  this-

     "Then I fear for what our university is becoming."

i have been thinking this for a few years now. it's just permeating our basketball program now or is just becoming more and more blatantly apparent.   

but hey, if ya don't make the NCAA, ya got your NIT.  if ya whiff there, ya gots yer CBI and if ya still want a trophy, let's keep the team together for the CIT

You? Looking at the negative aspect of it? NO WAY!
They could have just not liked it. Which people are able to do.

I think the most logical position is that the players sincerely "liked" it. But, 'cmon - if you had to play for a guy would you really "not like" his contract extension? Why put yourself in the doghouse? Players aren't stupid.

[rocket surgeon]

There are a LOT of current roster positively retweeting and commenting on the extension

this is great to hear as the opposite would be doubly disappointing.  i hope like hell this team and every future team success

Remember, for Chicos...the NIT matters, it's a sign of upward projection for the MU program under Wojo..he says the NIT is better than no postseason...I guess he'd feel the same about the CBI, and the CIT as well. Because, well, ya know, that's about the level he thinks the MU program should be at, or at least not beneath playing in one of those tournaments.

Or maybe they like the guy. Jeez why are people so negative about the most inconsequential things.

I was clarifying the difference with Lenny's analogy.  But to address your faulty post, 99% of my posts have nothing to do with Buzz....so you would be wrong in my opinion.

What about former players that don't have to worry about that who also liked it, commented publicly in support of the decision?

You are outdoing yourself today.  I guess the Mayo nonsense stung.

NIT > no tournament
NCAA > NIT

Really not hard.  CBI and CIT you have to pay to play if I recall.  They are not based on winning your conference or just missing the NCAA, they have no history, etc.  False equivalency.  If I recall, even the finals are like best of three.

You really think they would say something negative about it in public??

Former players is an entirely different situation. That's obvious. Has anyone said differently?

[Cheeks]

Just asking the question Lenny....just asking the question....and pointing out that there are others that did play for him who support the decision just as there are many fans that do....and yes, those that do not.

What is stopping them from saying nothing at all?  Especially transfer players that only played one year here.

I love how you twist things to fit your narrative...you seem to think it's a big deal that former players support Wojo's extension(or at least have said they do), because that's what you want to hear...so to you, that somehow proves the majority are for it, yet...when someone cited the negative comments on twitter, you took them to task, saying that isn't the "majority". You're a real piece of....

[BallBoy]

I think this is fair. I don't think any MU fans totally shrugged off our late season collapse.

The other fair side of this same coin is that zero Marquette fans are rooting for the Warriors to lose because they don't think Wojo is the answer as a coach.

Let's agree that the nonsense from both sides should stop.

There are many who have stated they want MU to be good next year so Wojo is poached by another program. That tells me it isn't about performance or the product or how he coaches, it is because he is the gritty PG from Duke who is too straight laced. If Wojo takes us on a deep tournament run, why would you want another program to poach him?  To that audience it doesn't matter how he performs they will always point to the negative and find a reason for underperformance.

Dude. You need to chill bud. If someone doesn't agree with you, you're angry. If someone says something you don't agree with you immediately find the negative and attack it.

Eat a snickers.

Not sure why you are making it personal.  I can only work with the responses we have.  I took them to task because of the absurdity of their claim and I was not alone.  The person ignored the overwhelming number of likes for the announcement and further cannot discern how many people didn't bother to say anything at all. It wasn't a poll.  God bless you Guru

You ignored the overwhelming number of negative comments that  the poster cited were given as well..didn't you?? See, that's the thing with you Chicos...you want everything to be about you, your holier than thou attitude is what people dislike about you. You ALWAYS think you're right, and better then everyone else. You aren't afraid to admit it in a roundabout way either. You the man...you do you.

[Pakuni]

Funny how triggered some people are over a contract extension that means virtually nothing.

[MU82]

This has been quite a thread.

It's unbelievable. Chico's must have posted 200 posts the last few days.

You may find it odd that some fans want Wojo to succeed so that other programs would try to poach him (I find it a bit odd myself) but that's not the same thing as fans rooting against MU so that Wojo is fired. That's the house where nobody lives.

I am wrong a bunch, hope that helps to clarify things for you.

No, I didn't ignore the negative comments, I and others pointed out that there were far more likes then any negative comments....them is the facts.  That just make me right in this situation,and the others that stated the same.

Nobody's?  Just as there weren't Packer fans that actively cheered for Green Bay to lose so McCarthy got fired.  You sure you want to go with NOBODY....social media is a treasure trove of people saying all kinds of fun things that disprove the nobody statement.
