I also remember Wes thanking Buzz for “unleashing him”. I don’t remember if it was senior night or the awards banquet but he definitely said that.  He didn’t mention Crean directly but it was pretty clearly directed at him.

I don't doubt Wes had nice things to say about his coach on Senior Day. That would be, you know, absolutely normal.
I very much doubt whatever he said was a swipe at his previous coach, no matter how much some here wish it to be because it fits their 2019 narrative.

Great speeches in Marquette Senior Day History:

In 1995 Tony Miller went out of his way to thank University of Tennessee head coach, Kevin O'Neill. 

In 2009 Wesley Matthews went out of his way thank Buzz for "unleashing" him.

Do the math.

I prefer Crean over Buzz so this would hurt my narrative if anything.

I’m shocked a college athlete might not love a coach that left the school the year before his senior year.

The Taylors and Hurley were opportunistic...as soon as they saw an opening they pounced on it.  We could have hired Coach K and they would have pushed to get to Kansas. 

How did Buzz handle losing a major recruit, he went to 5 straight NCAAs.

Meanwhile TC was ducking plants, needlessly throwing kids off his team to buy himself time and sadly losing in the S16 to deprive us of the greatest E8 game of all time.

it was actually the secretary who ducked the plant and he was definitely not "needlessly" throwing kids off the trainwreck of the team that he inherited from Sampson. Meanwhile, Buzz was succeeding with a team and program he inherited from Crean.

Yeah, what Crean did at IU was pretty much what most coaches do.  Was Scott Christopherson "needlessly" thrown off by Buzz?  Todd Mayo by Wojo?

If the player is butt hurt over his coach leaving you would have a point.

Wesley was GRATEFUL that his coach left, and grateful that the new guy allowed him to be an integral part of the offense.

I was at the game. It was clear to Crean fans and non fans around me that Wes took a swipe at TC. People who refuse to connect the most obvious of dots are selecting a narrative they prefer rather than dealing with the facts.

I'm glad you had that discussion with Wes to clear that up.  I was wondering how the guy he was so GRATEFUL to see go was able to convince him 1) to come play for him at Marquette and 2) to stick around and play for him for 3 seasons.  I guess my question still isn't answered as he was so GRATEFUL, but at least I know he was GRATEFUL.

Either you didn't hear Wes's senior day speech or you didn't understand it.

If he hated Crean that much, he'd have been making a senior night speech at anywhere but Marquette.

He didn't take a swipe at him for leaving, he basically thanked him for leaving.

I never said he hated Crean, but he did feel he was under utilized in his offense. Buzz agreed, retooled things and took shots away from a bad shooter and gave them to a good one. Dom understood, Wes and Marquette thrived.

Like Jordan Crawford? Or Armon Bassett? Or DeAndre Thomas?  Seemed like TC was intent to burn Indiana to the ground rather than go in a win asap.
