It's possible Buzz messes with his own happy. He identifies with the underdog -- the one everyone's against, the one that's expected to lose. When he finds success and starts to get comfortable somewhere, that might just make him uncomfortable.Who is Virginia Tech? Perhaps the ultimate underdog. Think back to when Buzz arrived. In the ACC and the college basketball world, VT is nobody. They have virtually no history of winning, with just 8 NCAA appearances between 1908 and 2014. They're a vagabond -- moving from independent status (1908-1921) to the Southern Conference (1921-1965) back to independent status (1965-1977) to the Metro Conference (1978-1995) to the Atlantic 10 (1995-2000) to the Big East (2000-2004) to the ACC (2004-today).The Hokies were also coming off a 9-22 season in which they finished dead last in the conference (15th out of 15 teams) and had missed the NCAA tournament for seven straight seasons.Buzz comes in and leads Virginia Tech to three consecutive NCAA appearances for the first time in school history -- including the first Sweet 16 since 1967. Suddenly, the Hokies aren't such underdogs anymore. They're not expected to lose. Instead, they're expected to challenge Duke, UNC, Virginia and Louisville at the top of the conference.Buzz might be at his best with a big chip on his shoulder, and start to get restless without one.
Full quote:I love where I am. I suppose it's a good thing when your phone is ringing and your name is being mentioned on the coaching carousel, but I'm happy with @MarquetteMBB.
Yeah...wojo strikes me as the kind of guy that looks for a low accountability job so he can coast through life.
Why?
Read the rest of Avid's post. Like you, he's not a teal guy.
You never want to be the guy replacing The Guy. There are a few schools that are going to have to deal with this soon: Duke, UNC, Michigan State, Syracuse (though they probably hire Mike Hopkins).
Hopkins isn't going anywhere. He will be at U Dub for years.
Seattle >>>>>>>>>> SyracusePressure to win <<<<<<< SyracuseConference competition <<<<<<<< ACCseems like a no-brainer to me
You do if you are really good and confident in what you do. You dont want to be the school hiring the guy who flammed out following the legend....which tells me the school made a bad choice on who to hire when the legend left.
I agree. If K really has the softest spot in his heart for Wojo among all his assistants, as has been said..........he’s already advised him to be the guy after The Guy.
the guy after the guy after The Guy**
The Tech Lunch Pail@techlunchpaildHere's a final update on all of this. As I've been informed last night, the flight connected to VT was not being used in the coaching search. Simply coincidental timing and business being done. Timing of flights from Milwaukee area brought intrigue but nothing to it. Carry onOne of you much better at trolling, please go troll this turd.
Where's Kyle Guy in this equation?
Amazing that one random idiot on twitter completely makes up something out of whole cloth (Gary is close enough to Milwaukee = Wojo is coming to VT!!!) and, if you repeat the lie long enough, the circle jerk starts as it gets repeated and embellished by others that make up additional stuff (“my wife’s sister’s brother’s neighbor’s friend that works with the guy down the street saw Wojo on campus today!!!!!”). It actually results in Wojo having to deny all of this.Remind me again why social media fan boards are a good thing?
Anthony Harris of Va Tech has reopened his recruiting.

Down 1 w 5 seconds left. Doable.
+1I almost wonder if the "random idiot" is actually VTech psychology professor running an experiment of some kind.
"years," as in the remaining number of years Boeheim stays at Syracuse.
And Guy Rodgers? Where is Guy Rodgers?
One of my colleagues is a major benefactor of U Dub MBB. He actually has had dinner at Mike and Tricia's home in Madison Park. He hated Romar but loves Hopkins. He is pretty certain Hopkins will not go to Syracuse. Is that 100% certain. Likely not. But it is first person intel as opposed to the wild ass guess of some chucklehead on Scoop. https://www.seattletimes.com/sports/uw-husky-basketball/the-huskies-have-their-coach-of-the-future-in-mike-hopkins-but-theyre-just-getting-started/
