KO had the best line of the night. When Wojo said he had been recruited by both Deane and KO, Kevin interrupted 'That was just a mass mailing!' Hilarious.

Woj had a pretty quick comeback too. He lets that humor out every now and again, needs to let it fly more often.

There were some good photos posted on Instagram.  Looked like an excellent event.  Too bad I don't live closer.

Mike Deane: "KO thinks 'mother' is half a word."
Wojo, on KO recruiting him:  "And then my mom said you're never playing for that (mumbled mfr)"

There was an empty chair.    Buzz's picture popped up in the background occasionally.    Crean kept prodding KO to tell some of the legendary stories, like after getting heckled at a McDonald's in Mequon, taking his kid out to the car, locking him in the car, and then going back inside to verbally retaliate against the hecklers.      Like kicking Father Kelley off of the bus in Evansville so that he could have an uncensored discussion with his team.      Deane talked about recruiting Wojo at Siena and hoping he would sprain his ankle at 5 star camp so that the big guys would back off.

Speaking of which, was Brent invited and took a pass, or was Brent not invited?

Just finished watching it and say what you want about Crean, but that guy really cared about his players and it showed.

When he was asked about coaching Wade, he mentioned all these nobody players I never heard of and seemed to really appreciate them. Dude took a promotion, still don't understand why people hate him for it so much.

Would've taken it had it got him a promotion or more power in VT's athletic department. Probably too busy doing a CBS Sports feature on teaching his players how to shake hands and tie a tie or something.

Maybe.   Or he is recruiting.    I would speculate that the wound is still too raw and that he isn't ready to act humble or proud.   Maybe there are still people he is not ready to make peace with yet.      His loss.

I don't think anyone was even remotely bothered that he wasn't there. Crean only mentioned him once and it was just his name, not even a story. Hell that Swedish player got more air time.

To me it was the way he left

While Buzz seems to do great with individual relationships, I think he struggles with institutional ones. He went scorched earth with his departures from both UNO and Marquette. Does anyone know how he left things with the Buzz's Bunch kids here? Does he keep in touch or follow up?

I didn't expect Buzz so his lack of his involvement wasn't surprising. If last night revealed anything about an old coach, it was Tom Crean's class. He made full amends for any previous missteps. I think most everyone except 4ever is over his departure, but last night he showed how important Marquette was and still is to him.

Biggest laugh: Mike Deane to KO "Well, Kevin thinks Mother is half a word."

Biggest Ovation: Wesley Matthews in response to Bilas asking why he didn't go to Wisconsin "Uh....I didn't like the Badgers."

Best story: Jim Chones talking about Al walking into his house and telling his dad "Nice pad J"

Overall, great event. Thought it was very well done. Wish we could have seen more of the recent players there, but I imagine they have commitments this time of year.

Thanks for the Brent info gentlemen. I'll be honest I didn't think of it one time last night. Didn't dawn on me 'til about 9 or 10 o' clock this morning that he wasn't there.

Did any of you who attended think that there was a twinge of regret in Crean's words? The folks at my table seemed to think so.
Have some patience, FFS.

Absolutely. Listening to his story about Izzo telling Crean he had the best job I the country, I thought if Tom could do it all over again, he'd still be our coach.

That's what I thought (assuming that he kept the program successful and MU didn't kick him to the curb).

Not a recruiting period right now. He's just a weasel.

It's similar to Holtman leaving for OSU. He'll regret that move. Why assume all that pressure when you can make championship games at a basketball only school? I don't understand that.

I heard some regret in his voice. Now one must remember that Indiana just fired him.  That'll always leave a bad taste.  One thing is for sure though. I think TC really does reflect fondly on his 9 years here.  I wouldn't be surprised that in the course of the last 24 hours he reminded Wojo that MU was a great gig and to appreciate it.  I think we all know that Wojo already believes that but it's nice to hear it from others too.
