Kolek planning to go pro
According to IWB on the other board, at least one of Tony Bennett, Sean Miller and, I believe Mark Few (?...not sure of the third name, but it was one of the many bandied about, maybe the guy from Southern Illinois) were interested. The point is...if we had hired, for instance, the coach of Wright State would Wright State have turned around and even given Buzz Williams and interview? Of course not. Why, then, was he qualifed for Marquette? It's absolutely insane that we hired him. He wouldn't have been qualified for our job even if he had stayed at New Orleans and made the NCAA with them last year. We wouldn't have even thought twice about him. I'm telling you, this is a disaster of Dukiet-like proportions. He's way out over his skiis.
The best thing about the upper deck is you don't have to deal with the pompous older alumni in the lower bowl. Take my word for it, you're better off upstairs!
I consider this site to be the upper deck of the Marquette message boardosphere and the other board to be the lower bowl.
You gotta love a message board that limits the posts of somebody they disagree with, but thinks nothing of a couple of 30-somethings trolling for female companionship. Let's hope some of those guys aren't posting at their local library.Yikes.
Perhaps you should re-read his post and use your comprehension skills this time. His entire response supports my claim that other high-profile names were interested and that one of the factors in his hiring was Crean's recommendation. I just had the common courtesy to summarize.Since you're so clever, please point out specific instances in IWB's post where he disagrees with my contention that there was interest in more experienced coaches. I hope you don't make the mistake of using quotation marks around a phrase I never used. Nowhere did I say "MU failed to speak with them." Those are his words, not mine. But go ahead, show me where he disagrees. I look forward to your interpretation.

He said quite specifically: "I can't confirm all on that list but I will say 'most' were interested."That is not semantics. If anything, it not only confirms my original post, it goes a step further.
I don't think Crean is a two-faced liar, so we cannot agree. I think he's the world's biggest poser...right down to the fake tan, preference for Hummers and shameless social climbing. He's just loathesome...he's not two-faced. And frankly, I believe the fans at Indiana will pick up on that a lot faster than they did in Milwaukee.In response to you baiting me into commenting on the other board... just because I think they're completely paranoid and absolute sycophants (the very definition, really) doesn't mean I believe they don't have access to sources within the athletic department. Buzz Williams even referenced IWB by name in his opening press conference (Day 1?).But CrackedSidewalks has broken more stories!
