I was just about to post this; thanks. I am admittedly a sucker for these kinds of stories, but I do believe it is an illustration that the program is in good hands with Buzz. Yes, I wish we stayed aggressive late in the UL game, that we had better possessions coming out of TOs  and in end of game situations.....but Buzz will improve in these areas. I still believe MUs offense most of the time is far better than most I've seen in terms of ball movement and finding good looks. More importantly, I think Buzz is a great representative for MU ideals overall and the players he leads. My concerns as to the UL loss being difficult to bounce back from are eased when I read about Buzz taking the time for that kid and having players pose for pictures. I like the message that sends, and makes me admire the direction of the team and Buzz even more than I already did.

Buzz has said, "Sports don't build character, they reveal it." Well, so does how you handle difficult situations. I like what I've seen of Buzz's character. He also says something about learning from times when we are tested so we don't have to pass the test again. Please, no more stalling when up 18 with 5:44 to go.
