There is no excuse for booing your team or coach in public.  Period.

There’s no excuse for booing amateur athletes, ever, unless it’s in fun when you’re booing the visitors, or getting on a guy like Brad Davison who plays dirty.  But a coach who’s making a cool $2 million a year?  Fair game if he’s not producing.

I do not believe I have ever booed a player or a coach, at least as an adult. Have booed refs over the years.

I agree with this 100%. You want the booing to stop?? Perform better. It's really that simple. There's no magic formula. It's as easy as winning more games.

Your unicorn will stop getting booed when he actually has success.  We’ve dropped three games in a row, will likely be unranked when the new rankings come out, and have never won a Big East title or NCAA Tournament game during his time here.  We’re currently 7-7 in conference, strictly middle of the pack.  And we’re nearing the end of year six.

The unicorns don’t exist which has been my point for a long time.  Despite so many of you thinking one is coming to Milwaukee and staying.  LOL.  I expect to win 2 or 3 of the last four. 

Senior night is about the players, but I have no doubt some of our illustrious arseholes will do their best to show just how smart and big time arseholes they are....don’t disappoint us.

It's just unproductive. I understand frustration, but it doesn't achieve anything. He's not getting fired unless the performance gets worse, and it definitely doesn't foster a great environment for our players.

So right.

How as a coach do you watch Cain pass up an open corner 3, take a few dribbles, pass up an open 12 footer, then throw the ball away leading to a dunk, and you leave him in the game?!?!?!   Disgraceful.

That was a maddening stretch for a guy who had been playing with confidence. Interesting to note, however, how many on here have blamed Cain's woes last year on being quickly pulled all the time. Whatever fits the narrative one is pushing.

The track record of player “development” under Wojo speaks for itself.

All players make mistakes. Mistakes multiply when historically making one leads to a quick hook.

Lastly, the coaching “results” speak for themselves as well. 7-7 in Big East. Year 6.

And yet other clowns here saying to let Cain play more and let him get some run despite turnovers, etc.

Lol, better than Buzz’s record in year 6 in a worse conference...oh, that’s right...he wasn’t trying.

Why is one of your defining arguments Buzz's one bad year (where his best player jumoed ship to pros) where his pg and sf straight didn't work out. Buzz was 5/6 wojo is like 1.5/6

Well, it’s nothing I’ve said about him.

He’s nearly completed 3 years of college ball, so cutting him slack to play through his ridiculous mistakes is over.  His decisions are that of first semester freshman.  You just cringe anytime he’s doing anything but catching and shooting immediately.  Any time he has to start thinking of his next move, look out.

Booing a coach in public, especially at a game, is hurting the team as well.   At the moment, that is who their leader is.  And to boo the a coach, you boo the team because you hurt them.

This.

Plus the public perception of the fanbase on future recruits or coaching prospects

I've supported Wojo for 5 years. 

Time to get it together.  His 2 best players (Ellenson and Howard) have been questioanable.  Every coach in the Big East knows how to play against Marcus now.   The offense is the opposite of K.  There is no offense.  Howard  refuses to play team ball.  Wojo hasn't shown the ability to adjust.

As painful as the losing has been the last three games, stating Wojos conference record before the conference season is over is not really productive.  He could end up 11-7. It could be 7-11.  We will have all the information at the end of the year.  I don’t like how we have played, especially the last two games, as much as anyone but this season could still end up way above average.  Let’s let it play out.

Because you guys keep saying year 6.  Compare year 6 to year 6, same Big East to the same Big East.

It was also the 5th ranked conference that year...this year ranked 2nd.

Probably not uncommon to have a rebuild year after making the S16 3 straight years. Seems we’ve been in rebuild mode every year under Wojo.

Yeah, making NCAA tournaments are rebuild....Good Lord.


In Buzz’s year 6 we were picked to win the Big East and finished 6th.

Your commitment to trying to make people think they are crazy for being unhappy or dissatisfied with Wojo's tenure is poisonous.  You, and others that talk/post like you, are the worst fans we have.

There is nothing wrong with believing that Marquette can, and should, do better.  We've seen it before.

Please continue to boo the guy making $2M per year to be OK(?) at his job.

I would support the next coach.   Until either the program regressed or the players started misbehaving in the classroom or off the court.
Luke 6:45   ...A good man produces goodness from the good in his heart; an evil man produces evil out of his store of evil.   Each man speaks from his heart's abundance...

It is better to be fearless and cheerful than cheerless and fearful.
