Wrong, Lenny. Crean was more of a "Fielder's Choice."
Many of us agree that MU should keep high standards. You act as if you're the only one standing up for high standards. If 99% of UCLA fans have no idea who Buzz is, well, that syas a lot about there depth of knowledge of college BB. I think you have a problem with a coach named BUZZ. You have been down on him since the day he was hired, and now that he is a proven winner, you continue your passive aggressive campaign to belittle anything he accomplishes. That is a lot of negative energy.
Chicos wants us to believe that standards went in the toilet with Buzz.
Toiliet? I don't have to go there, the university already did and a few changes were made. Don't like it, take it up with the university.
This is such BS. Don't ever compare Stanford standards with UCLA's. UDub has higher standards than UCLA and I don't see a lot of Rhodes Scholars on Romar's roster.
I'm off to a conference right now Lenny, but I'll pull up the posts for you tonight from some of the illustrious posters here that said those very things. Then you can backtrack and qualify them for everyone.
Yeah, the university was out of compliance with how to report alleged sexual assaults since the Crean regime and they changed that. They also raised the grade requirements that were in effect under Crean and didn't allow freshmen players to live in Humphrey (as they could under Crean). Thank God they cleaned up the mess Crean left behind.
We're still waiting.
"I do want a coach who's bigger than the university."-PRN"There would be less paranoia if the current AD let Buzz run the school and gave him a long leash. Instead the new AD has tried to shackle/reign Buzz in, in some areas...which is messing with happy."-Ners"Make Buzz Williams AD"-Stone Cold"So you don't see a problem with an administration dictating to the Head basketball Coach how to run his program? Not being an alum, I could personally care less about anything that happens with the school in reality. I care about the success of the basketball program, period."-Mu Guru"Larry has to do his job, but he also has to let Buzz do his without looking over his shoulder. No one in their right mind can do a job well if someone is always looking over their shoulder and looking for what is wrong, instead of what is right."-Hoops12"If LW and FP cared as much about the BB program as Father Wild and Cottingham did, they would. Let Buzz run his program the way he sees fit(without cheating of course), let him bring in the type of kids he needs/wants to bring in to try to take MU to the next level, and let him run the basketball operation. They aren't. They are trying to dictate to Buzz how THEY want to see things run. "-MU Guru"The issue of course is that not all institutions and AD's set the same limits. It appears MU is headed the direction that won't make it a coach/athletics friendly place - as it was under Father Wild"-Ners"What has Larry Williams done and accomplished at MU that makes you think he's immune to the criticism? What skins on the wall does he have? Can you find another example of an AD 90 days on the job, who to the local paper, pretty much says he's going to help his coach become better, that his coach ties his tie too tight, and will either have his head explode or will irrevocably offend somebody - all said about a guy who has 3.5 years in, which had culminated in 3 NCAA births, 1 Sweet 16 and another that followed a month later. Buzz has earned the benefit of the doubt. Larry simply has created doubt."-Ners"From a management experience standpoint, Pilarz came to us from Scranton. Larry Williams from Portland. These are the guys currently at the controls of the charter. "-PRN (apparently these people can't lead because of where they came from...interesting...Buzz came from New Orleans, right?)"Your exactly right. It is time for MU to part ways with Larry Williams. For those of you who dont follow SEC Sports, Nick Saban committed 29!! Yes 29!! Violations in the past year and I dont think the AD is suspending him for any games or firing any assistant coaches. "-Kenosha Warrior"If he goes it's because he is being pushed out or having constraints put on him. Not a decision on who is the better program."-Golden Eagle 2002You get the idea
Buzz to Marquette!http://www.marquette.edu/omc/newscenter/recent.php?subaction=showfull&id=1207621714&archive=
Wow, I'm very concerned for Benny. Being able to mimic Myron Medcalf's writing so closely implies an oncoming case of dementia.
Latest additions... Auburn and USF.No really... USF. I'm dead serious here.USF, as in University of South Florida. The place in Tampa. Think Sun Dome.
