Nice Buzz Article
« on: December 01, 2016, 04:13:50 PM »
Although he's moved on, Buzz Williams is still the source of a lot of fun MU memories for me.

I'm glad to see his success at VT...hope we meet them (and beat them  :D ) in the tourney.

NOTE: VaTech is 6-1 including a nice win over Michigan...only a 3 point loss to TAMU. ACC will be tough though.

He's a really good coach and definitely the source of great memories. But he's also a prick, he left our program hurting, and I'm not glad to see any success he may have at VT.

He left the program because MU, in its infinite wisdom, hired two dingbats. Pilarz and Larry Williams.

We ran off a guy who was our second best coach ever and replaced him with a guy who thought Sandy Cohen was better than Deonte Burton. That made a lot of sense.

So when JJJ leaves, are you leaving too?

Wojo played Burton more minutes than Cohen when they were both on the team.

I'm okay with Marquette finally telling Buzz, "No," after they bent over backwards for his absurd demands every single offseason he was here.  If the guy can't win without having players who sexually assault students (and then brings the team together to make sure everyone has the same story about the incident), players who attempt to light girls' hair on fire, etc. then I'm good with Marquette moving on and looking for someone who will clean the program up.  If that's me on a high horse then I'll ride that high horse all my life.  There's "college kids doing stupid things" and then there's, well, the things that MU finally said, "Enough!" to.  I loved Bert while he was here, I loved all the winning, I refused to believe all the whispers I had heard and turned a blind eye to it because, well, we were winning and it was fun, but there were absolutely systematic problems within the basketball program, and they needed to be changed.  Bert wasn't willing to make the changes, so he went elsewhere where he could get what he wanted when he wanted it and how he wanted it.

Good for Marquette, good for Bert.

I was pissed when he left, but the more I hear the more I'm disgusted I ever supported the guy.

That is a well reasoned position. I think your under estimating how much of a f!?)/ Larry Williams was though.

I very well may be. But that was yet another thing MU gave Bert his way about. It was either Bert or Larry, and it was Bert.
