Don't shoot the messenger, but evidently LW said something on WTMJ like "We hope to keep Buzz" and the folks on Dodds are going nuts.

mupanther had a more complete summary. Some people are taking the "hope we can keep him" a little out of context and running with it.

Why is this guy in the media? He's a microphone whore! Shut up!!!

There is so much tinfoil over there to keep Alcoa in business for decades. 99% of them don't even have the full context of what was said. PRN is soiling himself right now, I'm sure.

And guess what, some day Buzz will leave...they all leave. I can only imagine how LW, or George Bush, or Bill Buckner will be blamed. It will be a day when popcorn sales are high around here.

Again, these are just examples that Larry Williams can do no right in the eyes of some posters. LW said Buzz is one of the best young coaches in the game, did a phenomenal job with this team, and Marquette is going to do what it can to keep him, and somehow that's a BAD thing? Do you even read what you write before hitting the "post" button?

THESE ARE ALL GOOD THINGS AND THE EXACT TYPES OF STATEMENTS PEOPLE HAVE BEEN WISHING HE WOULD MAKE SINCE HE ARRIVED!!!!!

Keepin' a successful, hot commodity coach like Buzz is just not an end of March task. A good AD and administration should know that relationships, community, family, bonding is a 24/7, 365 days/job. Considering the amount of revenue a coach like Buzz brings into a school like Marquette, and I don't think it can be accurately measured, these white hot faces of the university, pay for themselves.
The toughest part of the task was hiring the right man for the job to begin with. Mission accomplished. Now, just don't go and f*ck it up.

OH MY GOD! Is Buzz leaving??

He isn't staying forever, Forever. No one does anymore. Enjoy the ride, and hope he's here for 10 to 15. Longest run of a coach at MU since Al has been 9 years. I'd love to get Buzz to 10 at a minimum, but our history has shown that to be a challenge.

The treachery....

I get that. Were he to leave now, would validate the alleged friction and messin' with happy between Buzz and the administration. It wouldn't be for a better paycheck or job.

Pakuni · « **Reply #11 on:** March 31, 2013, 11:25:00 AM »

But, but, but ... he didn't say we REALLY, REALLY want to keep Buzz at Marquette.
And only listed Buzz as "one" of the best young coaches in the game. Why not "The" best?
And what does Buzz's age have to do with it? He's a great coach period!

Blackhat · « **Reply #12 on:** March 31, 2013, 11:34:35 AM »

LW doesn't get much leeway after buzz leaked the SMU embarrassment through IWB. We hope we keep him isn't exactly the assertive tone you want. But actions speak much louder than words so I don't really care about that. Pilarz and LW need to be assertive and aggressive in their actions. This is when u find out what your ad is made of this is showtime. We have two minor leaguers in pilarz and lw. Hopefully they're now ready for the big leagues and the competition.

Yeah, the way MU handled the Old Big East breakup/New Big East formation totally reeks of minor league administrators at the helm.
You've been spewing the same drivel for more than a year now, despite all evidence to the contrary.

Charming, though, that you think guys who came up through the ranks at Georgetown and Notre Dame, respectively, are minor leaguers.

I've might be missing a word or two in that, but that's 98% correct word for word.

Anyone who has Time Warner Cable can go to channel 411 and go to the 10pm newscast on TMJ4 and fast forward to sports to see it.

I thought LW had very nice things to say about Buzz, things I've not heard him say untill last night.

Please tell me which part is inaccurate. They came from Portland and Scranton respectfully. Every AD stated they led in realignment. I know Seton Hall's and St. John's ad Said they were leading the charge as well. LW ultimately faces his toughest test now and I get some people want to provide cover and some blame him unjustly. But ultimately the buck stops with him, he can't be shielded from criticism if buzz leaves sans for a few elite jobs.

I have made peace with Buzz or any coach leaving MU.

I'd like to think that MU has created such an environment that BKB is #1.

That said, I wonder if Dodds is just driving traffic to his site with a comment any AD would make after an Elite 8 run.

Groin_pull · « **Reply #19 on:** March 31, 2013, 12:01:06 PM »

LW needs to shut his mouth and go into hiding. We're hearing way too much from this guy.

First, you mention their most recent jobs while ignoring where they received their training. I suspect that's because you know if you did you'd have to abandon your silly "minor league" script. Sucks when facts get in the way.

Second, the way MU has dealt with conference realignment indicates the people in charge are anything but minor leaguers. MU came out of this with the best possible situation and a significant revenue uptick. And, in the process, they exerted enough influence over the process to get one of their chosen schools - Creighton - included over at least one option reportedly preferred by other C7 members. Maybe they just got lucky riding DePau'ls coattails?

Third, could you point me in the direction of a link containing comments from the Seton Hall or St. John's AD stating they led in realignment? Or anything at all supporting your claim that they've done so?

Fourth, doesn't the fact that Buzz reportedly has shown no interest to any of the major job openings this month indicate LW and SP are doing well enough to keep him happy?

I do agree with 4ever that keeping people happy is a full time job that needs to be done everyday of the year. If, and I say if, Buzz were to leave it would nothing to do with money IMO. Let's hope it was an effort by LW to show his support for Buzz and all is well.
