I know people like to say there was only two outcomes with this, but 4ever is right - this situation sunk him.  Should have found a way to get the team to  address conflict, play together and not implode during the season.  That was his job, he failed and thankfully we have moved on.

This is correct. The conflict was started by the Hausers which is not a knock on them, conflicts between college aged athletes happen. The fact that Wojo let that conflict fester and get to the point where it became a him or us situation is a failure on his part, arguably the biggest failure of his tenure. MU gave him a chance to recover and he failed.

I have no fears of a similar situation with the current coaching regime

Has to win the league tourney to dance but LMU fans have to be excited.  They definitely can do it.  I'd cheer for him but he brought Markus to Marquette

This made me wonder...was Stan still around when Wojo recruited Oso?  The Chandler, AZ connection ran through Markus's family to Oso, but was Stan also instrumental in that recruitment?

I'd love to see the WCC become a bit of a Big East Lite.  Too bad that only St. Mary's has managed to rise the Gonzaga tide to be consistently any good.

The schools, at least the majority of them, do try and be successful.  There is a vacuum out west for sure.  Part of the problem is, they're on the west coast and it's hard to get eyeballs.  For a brief period, you could have argued Pepperdine would have been Gonzaga before Gonzaga

Stan was the lead recruiter for both Oso and Garcia.

Should have kicked their asses off the team and told them to transfer.

Freshmen don't get to win battles of will with the coach and the first team all American.

Agreed.  The parents and big bro should've let little bro make his own decision and go where he wanted to go in the first place.  Instead they got a pouty brother who ended up writing a hand written letter and passed it around to all but one player on the team to get their signatures and took it to the head coach, while pops waited outside locker rooms to discuss shot selection with the head coach.  What a joke.

But, it all led to Shaka being here.  And for that I am very thankful.  I was excited when we landed Shaka.  I was disappointed in what I thought was a lack of talent coming in.  Turns out, Shaka knew more about the players on the team and the recruits coming in than I did.  Weird how that works out.

Hoping to see more of the offense that got us to #1 in KenPom's offensive efficiency this weekend, and then carry that over to the Xavier game against their poor defense.

Is this all true? This is the most details I've seen so far.

A part of it was a Scoop rumor, so stone cold lock to be true.

A part of it is second hand information to me, but it's from someone I trust.

Well either way they ended up leaving, so you got your wish. Outside of Wojo's hefty buyout, can't say it really worked out for him.

Wojo was an average coach.  Never grew beyond his Duke roots.   Somehow managed to not recruit enough big guards  and switchables to ever be more than average.  After the initial shock, and hearing things from people I know and trust, I viewed the Hauser situation as essentially the same as the Jeronne situation.   I thought Wojo was weak for not handling it like Buzz did.

But Wojo is gone and I like Shaka better.

Wojo was pretty good at recruiting talented pieces, but lousy at figuring out how to put them all together.

Hardooooooo!

When you promise the world to get a recruit and don't "derecruit" them when they arrive on campus, you embolden them to make stances like Joey made.

Rookie mistake from a rookie coach. It never should've arrived at the point of choosing between two groups. Extremely poor leadership.

I don't think there's any truth to the idea that Joey's parents or brothers didn't let him make his own decision. What I do think there is truth in is that Joey made a mistake that a lot of young people make and made a decision for the sake of pleasing others that he ended up regretting.

Stan recruited Oso. Stan also positioned Marquette with a good chance for DaRon Holmes, (also from Phoenix) before Stan left for LMU.

Refs working hard for Xavier in this one. Three phantom shooting fouls called on Butler this half. Heading into the under eight with the softest moving screen call in the history of basketball.
