What was with the tie, shirt, coat combo today? ;D
It's all about the shirt. No plaids, no checks, no prints. He needs to stick with the solids, then he's fine.
yeah, that was ugly. Don't kill me for saying this, but with the added weight since his arrival and the shaved head, he kinda looks like Mel Gibson's nemesis in Mad Max.
You all clearly don't understand Texas lawyer fashion. Just be happy he hasn't worn a bolo tie yet.

No situation should call for those track suits he wears, especially not coaching a basketball game.

Somehow the track suits just don't compare to this:

Loved the exchange between Homer and Buzz pregame... Homer made reference to the outfit saying he'd never wear that... Buzz then went on to comment on Homer's look. A white shirt. I agree it is a terrible look by Buzz, but it is true Buzz. He doesn't care and is able to throw it right back at Homer.
Maybe it is because I live in Dallas, but..I thought Buzz looked sharp tonite...and as much as I love Milwaukee, you do need to realize it isn't exactly a very fashion forward city. Clearly I'm in the minority with my opinion on this topic, but I've got to say I thought it was sharp.
Thought he looked good too. Liked the plaid mix in, gives him a southern "I know what I'm doing, don't make me stick my boot up your azz" look.

Hmmmm. I've lived in Dallas. (liked it) Lived in Chicago. Milwaukee, Phoenix, Boston.
In any of these cities, Buzz needs to go with solids. If he wants to be adventurous, he can do so with his tie.
There's a difference between being fashion forward and getting a bit too aggressive with the edgy combos. Some looks are classics for a reason. All told, however, Buzz is sharply dressed more often than not.
This was better than most nights last season; he was just wearing an odd combination tonight. Last year he wore some truly ugly ties and shirts.
He also gets points tonight for wearing a darker suit jacket so we can't see the sweat seeping through both his shirt and his jacket.
I think Buzz just never really had money before and he knows he has to buy expensive clothes, but he has no clue what combinations to wear.
Or perhaps the Athletic Department promoted Crean's tanning bed attendant to be Buzz's personal fashion assistant. That would explain a lot actually.
Here's the issue. Buzz is overweight. Not a rip. Just the truth.
Overweight folks have a hard time looking edgy.
Were he svelt, Buzz would look good in almost anything.
Don't know if Mark Pasch is his clothier, as he was for the other, or if a new deal has been struck.

+1
I am pretty sure I saw that shirt tie combo on a mannequin at Brooks Brothers last week.
It's part of his MO. I think he'd look out of place in some conservative get-up.

Quick question for those of you questioning Buzz's fashion sense (I didn't see it, I wasn't there)...How many of you ever did, or God forbid still do wear those ridiculous sweater vests?
Never in my life, proud to say.
One thing that doesn't compute is .. Buzz is overweight, yet he ran what, 500 miles this summer for his "challenge"? Running 5-8 miles a day, you'd think would drop him 20 pounds. That, plus he's hardly a couch potato .. I imagine he is super active through the day. Don't quite get the persistent thickness, unless his food intake is redonkulus.
He has to be careful, that head may pop one of these days.

I recently read this article (http://women.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/women/diet_and_fitness/article6878496.ece) describing the following (I'm definitely not an expert on this):
Exercise does not lead to weight loss. The belief that "exercise will make you skinny" is a contemporary one.

Did he ever complete that? If so I would have expected we'd see a "body transformation" from him. I think it's impossible to run 244 miles in 40 days without losing weight.
QuoteMILWAUKEE - Marquette men's basketball coach Buzz Williams made a promise to his young team this season.
After they completed his intense offseason conditioning program, he'd run the distance from Milwaukee to Indianapolis, the site of the Final Four, over 40 days.
That's 244 miles.
And Williams was late to media day because he was getting changed from a 5-mile run beforehand that brought him up to 62 miles into the journey.
[clip]
Williams will finish on Friday, Nov. 13 before Marquette takes on Centenary in the season opener. Forward Jimmy Butler is making sure Williams reaches that goal or he won't hear the end of it.

I would occasionally wear one to golf when it was a chillier day and I didn't feel like wearing long sleeves, other than that, no thank you.

LOL, sounds like an article that fat lazy people would gobble up. Hah.
Listen, I didn't even ready the article (bad me...), but I don't know anybody that exercises daily and is still overweight. Well, I should say "does cardio exercise daily". I know plenty of people that lift, and still have a gut.

It's an interesting article describing a medical study. I'd guess that the people that do quite a bit of cardio are also making other good life choices including eating healthy and in smaller portions.
Speaking of food... is all of this talk about cupcakes all month making anyone else hungry?

What skatastrophy said. The only way to lose weight is to consume less calories than you need. Here's a different twist from the NY Times.
http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/11/04/phys-ed-why-doesnt-exercise-lead-to-weight-loss/?scp=5&sq=exercise&st=cse
Look at it this way... let's assume each Sweet Tea contains around 100-200 calories (McDonald's Sweet Tea has 230 calories). If Buzz drinks 8 of those a day, he's somewhere between 40-80% of his necessary caloric intake (assuming 2000 calories) without having a single meal.
PS - I think Buzz "over-dresses", but other than not wearing an undershirt, he's not a terrible dresser. He doesn't look as sharp as he probably thinks he does.
Yeah, I get that, and suggested it in my post. His food intake must have increased to meet his exercise burn, netting zero weight loss. That's a shame.
.. One wonders if it is those sweet teas. A friend of mine (MU '90) one day decided to give up the 5-6 sodas he was drinking each day. Dropped a ton of weight. Looks like a teenager now, kinda gangly.
the article is making the assumption that people's belief is that exercise = weight loss, no matter what. You can eat a lot of green salads and oatmeal and lose some weight. you can embark on a marine boot camp exercise program and lose some weight. or you could do the sane and rational thing which is to combine a healthy diet with regular exercise.
For a guy doing that much cardio, its pretty crazy for him not to lose weight. Other than food, two other factors to consider... Stress and lack of sleep. Studies have shown that both lack of sleep and high stress levels are contributing factors in weight gain.
There's something inherently wrong about people who post to college basketball message boards discussing fashion. It's tantamount to the Project Runway cast discussing MU Hoops.
There's a reason that Tim Gunn is not a color analyst for ESPN and there's a reason that none of us should be discussing what another guy is wearing.

Cardio isn't necessarily an effective way to not look pudgy.
If the guy has got OCD he's probably taking medication for it which can throw your metabolism out of whack.
That's the only thing I can think of for doing that much cardio and not losing weight, unless he eats like a horse.
Pretty sure Buzz doesn't have OCD since that guy is a spot up shooter and can play the post.

After losing 65 pounds this summer and training for a marathon I can tell you that nutrition is 70% of losing weight. I can go for a 8 mile run but that's burning about 800 calories or cut out the 1,600 calorie whopper and fries and replace it with a 400 calorie option and that's equivalent to running 12 miles.
Calorie restriction is the main part of losing weight in my experience.
Underactive thyroid. If a person's thyroid gland is not producing enough thyroid hormone, he typically gains weight owing to a slower than natural metabolism. Given his work ethic I wouldn't be surprised if he has a "stressed" endocrine system and thus weak adrenals and thyroid hormone production.
How that be? Buzz has a bunch of kids so all systems must be a go.
His style will never work in Milwaukee. Just not sure its a good fit. Personally, I don't think he turns out that bad but agree with above that he's fat and if he lost weight no one would comment on attire.
Of course, the tan suit must go if he's gonna stay that big and sweat that much.
Dietary sugars get metabolized way too easily and are turned into body fat.
Is there any sugar in sweet tea? ::)

You can have a stressed endocrine system and still reproduce, especially as a male. Women tend to have more problems though, and a baby can have developmental issues if the mother isn't producing enough thyroid hormones.
Also, the androgen hormones tend to differ from others in terms of people's health. Testosterone, etc. He could have healthy androgen production but poor thyroid hormone production.
Can anyone read this pathetic thread and still complain about people bringing up Tom Crean in others?

Are we that critical of our coaches. It's not like Buzz is the best looking guy but I'd rather have him be able to coach than be tan, have a six-pack, or pull down his pants in front of his players (aka Mike Singletary).
Anyone have a picture? I didn't get to watch the game last night, and I can't find any on J-S or ESPN.
