Students react to Wojo’s dismissal and Shaka Smart’s Hiring

Marquette University recently decided to part ways with men’s basketball coach Steve Wojciechowski March 19 and hired Shaka Smart as his replacement.

Kolbe Donoghue, a first-year in the College of Business Administration, said that the dismissal of Wojciechowski will benefit the team for the upcoming season.

“I feel that Marquette has had too much talent in recent years to not make deep tournament runs, so a change in leadership is definitely a step in the right direction,” Donoghue said.

Donoghue expressed his frustration with Marquette not making the NCAA March Madness tournament this year.
