There’s one thing Marquette head coach Steve Wojciechowski knows he doesn’t want to do until he is retired from college basketball — wear a live microphone throughout a game.
“I’m just a little more old-school, and I don’t have such a good vocabulary at times,” Wojo said referring to his profane language. “It’s not for me … At some point, I’ll have to do it. Hopefully, it’s not until I’m coaching CYO (Catholic Youth Organization) basketball 22 years down the road.”
Wojo could be one of the only holdouts fairly soon. The BIG EAST and television partner FOX Sports are gradually implementing live microphones on coaches to differentiate both the network and conference in a highly competitive fight for television ratings.
