[Paint Touches] Buzz Hates Money: A Revisionist History

[The Lens]

I agree with this. Although it still was a violation.

Look the BOT had a right, and even a duty, to be concerned. However they hired the wrong people to act on those concerns. When they eventually got it right with Wild and Cords, it didn't mean that duty went away.

This is where I think MU has blood on its hands.  You want to fire Buzz when it was fire reported...fine, I'm good with that.

Let Buzz walk after 9-9 and no NCAA...can't justify that as changing culture.  To me that's just you can hold your nose during the Elite 8 but not when we're sitting at home in March.  IMO, MU got out of the Buzz Business when he stopped winning.

They placed restrictions on how he was operating long before he left. Firing him would have been an over reaction.

Do you cuddle with Chicos when it gets too much for him to bear?

just bear hugs.

Buzz was always able to have it both ways. He was a good ole country bumpkin, but also a Rain Man-like numbers savant. He just wanted to make his players better husbands and fathers, but oversaw a group that had many off-the-court issues. He ran Buzz's Bunch, but also built a basketball court in his house, created a logo for himself, and then had that logo engraved on the court.

Don't forget how weird of a dude Bazz was.  I mean, remember his recruiting pitch to Shabazz Muhammad?

What a weirdo.

WTF?! I count at least 5 posts in there from 4everwarriors in plain English.

Yeah, he adopted that shtick later on. He wasn't always a incoherent mess, he deliberately chose that.

Because it's funny or something?

What is wrong with building a basketball court in your house?   Especially in Milwaukee, where the Bucks provide at least 10 potential buyers.   I know someone that did that and I used to play hoop there once a week.  It's a pretty cool setup and many here if they had that kind of cash would do it too.

Did your friend name the court after themself and then go around in public talking about how selfless they are all the time?

He was on the grain back then...

Wait, I remember that. Back when I was just lurking not posting. 4ever was making a big deal about going gluten free. Dear god, is that what going gluten free does to you?

I suppose its better than the alternative:

I don't think he went around advertising how big his house was, nor that he had a basketball court in his old mequon home.  I'm sure if people saw it on the net or if they asked, he would say, well f**k yeah come on over and let's play a game of horse and I'll have the old lady whoop us up some good ole roadkill

Seeing that we are being faithful to history and opposed to rumors and revisionist slants, my recollection is that the house came with the court.  It was built by/for a Milwaukee Bucks player.
Buzz just customized it for his needs, hay, if you have it why not flaunt it?

Nope, was built custom for him.

Is there a fact checker in the house?

Not sure. But the house was built in 2010. Not sure how long Buzz lived in Mequon.

You can see previous owners on most real estate sites like zillow or trulia

Can't fact check on the court, but I can fact check on his budget for recruiting, what plane he chartered, and what he ate on the plane. 

Does that help?

Buzz built the house and gym.
