That is actually a very good choice for UCLA. His name was never mentioned, providing further evidence pundits are as worthless as buzz said they are .

Crazy.  He couldn't be who they wanted.  Alford did a poor job at Iowa - took Iowa a step backwards from the Tom Davis era.

Sheesh, I'd rather have Enfield than Alford.

I'm guessing UCLA got far down their list.

More proof for many here that contract extensions mean nothing.

Alford will do well there. They'll certainly like his style of ball  ;).

Thank you. No more Buzz leaving speculation for the time being, unless he takes the Minnesota job.  ::)

See now that is a perfect matchup, like Calipari to Kentucky.  Programs that say they are "conservative" but have absolutely no integrity whatsover.

I guess "conservative" UCLA wasn't bothered by how Alford let known rapists play for his team at Iowa, eh?

Listening to CBS Sports Radio talking about this.  They don't seem very thrilled about it - "at best a B- hire for a once-A+ program."

They called out Buzz specifically and said that word out of Marquette was that Buzz Williams wasn't interested and they weren't going to wait around to try and make a run.

He didn't do terrible, but he was just hated by the fan base because of how big of a jerk he was to people, and by keeping Pierre Pierce on the team after his whole string of "incidents". Iowa really went downhill because they let their facilities go to crap and couldn't recruit anyone...and then Todd Lickliter happened.

I actually think this is a decent hire, but Alford has a completely atrocious tournament track record.

Perplexing hire. Alford's tournament resume stinks and his style of play at New Mexico was defensive orientated, grind it out. I thought UCLA was looking for something different. Also, goes to show you how worthless these huge contract extensions for coaches are.

Honestly did anyone really expect Buzz to go to UCLA? I think all the chatter on here was more that everyone is pissed that the sports media still thinks we are just a stepping stone.
