While I am surely not anticipating an MU win. Virginia has had numerous good shots from within 5 feet and just is missing them. Also, seem to be able to get into the paint pretty easily on UW.

I'm not looking forward to Saturday. The combined records of UW-madison's opponents is 28-5. Solid defense, enough offense. I don't disagree that UVA is missing some easier shots, but doesn't that always seem to be the case against the Vadgers? Teams just miss.

Except when the team is a higher seed in teh NCAA tournament ;D
I'm glad Koenig went there. Uncontrollable Maymonesque father and a reputation as a me-first d-bag. Seems likes the perfect kid we'll love to dislike. I'm sure he'll be a fine player but probably just as much of an unlikable punk as Jordan Taylor.

Really the only thing unlikable about Jordan Taylor was his immediate post-game tweet from two years ago. Other than that I didn't think he was that bad of a guy by any means.

Jordan Taylor is actually a pretty good guy, but I knew him before my MU time, so I guess I never looked at him in that light.

heck, when a fan refers to a state rival as lowly they do so because it's sports, and it's fun...not because they always have the best evidence, but because sports creates a bias that is essentially harmless, and often times just plain fun. it's not like they're applying a "lowly" term to a serious situation like people who attend juco colleges, wear hoodies, or walk out on their players without showing them the respect they deserve.

With the exception of the UVa game, UW's defense has been bad. Best example was against Oral Roberts, where some favorable calls helped them avoid an upset.
Oral Roberts scored at will against them, because they made the wide open shots that they took. UVa missed most of their wide open shots.
I'm not worried about UW's defense, I'm worried about their ability to shoot the 3. They shoot over 45% and we really don't have a shot. They shoot under 40 and we are going to have a close one.

Did Buzz apply a "lowly" term to people who attend JUCO? Or wear hoodies? Did he walk out on players without showing them the respect they deserve? I assume you're referencing the last point. But do you actually know what Buzz did when he left? Buzz certainly could have had a long, private discussion with his players before announcing his decision. You have no idea. The big point there was "without showing [his players] the respect they deserve"

#chicosjustcan'tleaveitalone
Why would anyone, I mean anyone, hold it against Buzz for taking a chance to learn at the foot of the master, Tom Crean? I bet the UNO Chancellor was jealous of Buzz's opportunity. YOU DON'T SAY NO TO TOM CREAN.

Actually, it wasn't out of line at all. Read the comments from some of the New Orleans players. They were obviously disappointed, as they should have been. The comments from the AD, etc. Look, I don't blame him for doing it, same as I don't blame TC for going to a better program. It is what it is, I just find Avid's comments funny (and of course, hypocritical).
Avid must have missed the part about the fact I married a JUCO...she's terrific. Hoodies, love them...tried to order one yesterday from a link on this very site, unfortunately sold out. I was going to get a hoodie for my JUCO wife.

I shouldn't have started this argument, but I'd guess they way Nick Williams feels about TC is way worse than the way Fulce feels about Buzz. As for Mo Creek, it might be a better comparison (especially given the injury similarities to Fulce).
MU should have gotten in on Matt Thomas earlier. I think they're going to regret that in a few years.

Matt Thomas was a late bloomer that a lot of schools missed out on. MU was showing him some love late in the process, but it was simply too late. So far it looks like ISU got a steal.
Koenig looks OK, but I would prefer Duane. He was never interested in MU anyway.
It is way too early to call them successful recruits much less "LOT BETTER THAN WHAT WE HAVE." (Not going to bother with the underline.

I'm not under a contract, he was. I'm free to leave as I wish, as are most people in this country. Contracts are different matter. This is why MU paid $300K to settle and get Buzz out of his contract.
Look, I don't blame him for leaving, better gig, didn't feel like he was getting what he was promised, etc. Remember the thread about PERSPECTIVE....let's do that. That's what it is about. Avid made a comment about how the last guy disrespected MU and the players...that's fine. I just wanted to note that the perspective of UNO fans, AD, players, at least some of them, was the exact same. The irony wasn't lost on me, but I think it was lost on many others.
As is often the case around here, the fans have one set of rules for one coach, a different set for their own coach. Feel free to swap out "coach" for posters as well.

Revisionist history. The beef was that he left AND how he left. It was both. I can find plenty of examples here from 2008 where people lost their lids because he didn't honor his new contract, yada yada yada. It was both.
As for sources, ok (I'm sure I'll regret this, but I'm merely answering the mail here for which I will be labeled a Buzz hater by simply copying and pasting what others have said ::) ):
The AD"extremely disappointed that Buzz Williams has decided to resign...." http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/news/story?id=2928349
"I was really torn last year between Buzz and Joe, and it's very rare that you get a chance to correct a mistake," Privateers athletic director Jim Miller said - "I told every candidate last year that it might get worse before it gets better and you better be prepared for it," Miller said. "Obviously the previous head coach wasn't prepared for it. I feel really good about hiring Joe." - http://collegesportsinfo.com/2007/07/12/new-orleans-names-cal-assistant-pasternack-coach/#sthash.a2CN3WqT.dpuf
At least Towe coached here for five seasons. His successor, Williams, resigned after last season to become an assistant at Marquette. Miller, the athletic director, remains puzzled by his departure, saying that Williams, a native Texan, did not have local ties or an apparent appreciation of the halting pace of recovery. "I guess it was a culture shock, and he couldn't really handle it," Miller said. http://www.nytimes.com/2007/11/22/sports/ncaabasketball/22neworleans.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0
UNO AdministrationUNO is fighting the charges. "He claims he was misled about the situation," says Patricia Adams, the school's general counsel. "We disagree with that vehemently. Instead of honoring his contract, he chose to make these ludicrous allegations." http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/sports/college/mensbasketball/bigeast/2009-02-24-marquette-buzz-williams_N.htm
UNO Fans...again, it's perception (THEIR PERCEPTION, NOT YOURS. Just as IU fans will look at TC leaving FOR IU much differently than you view it with him leaving FROM MU. Some of their fans saw it as no big deal, the perception of others were quite different...here are some examples)"This move is bush league. Everyone in the UNO community has known for quite some time that the arena would not be ready for the upcoming bball season. Don't let Mr. Buzz pull your leg on that one! Besides, this was the perfect opportunity for him to build a fan base by recruiting wisely and putting a good product on the floor without any high expectations being pressed on him given the circumstances. This was a coward move. He either realized that he wasn't ready to be a head coach, or he was just being greedy and going after the money. IMHO, his decision to leave had as much to do with the arena as FEMA has had in helping people get back on their feet. Let's get Griff or Tic in here and get a winner!"
"What a sleezy thing to do to leave the program in July for an assistant's job."
"NO offense to Marquette fans--but I mean maybe I could understand his decision if he may have left for Duke, Kentucky etc..
I dont think it is appropriate. No matter if arena is ready or not. Buzz fizzed out on this one. And he wasnt a good coach. Thought UNO was predicted to be better than they were."

I'm a fan of Marquette, IU and KU. I know coaches come and go. I appreciate what Buzz is doing and appreciate what TC did (and is doing for one of my other alma maters). Coaches come and go, none of them are loyal to the their schools. I ultimately want whichever caretaker is at my schools to do well, to win, to graduate players, keep them off the police blotter, be good representatives of my alma mater. If they accomplish this, then I am a big fan. Because MU ranks highest for me, by default I'm a bigger fan of Buzz than the others. When he leaves, which he will (they all do), then the next guy I will be a big fan of because he is MU's coach.

I don't disagree with any of this. In fact, I often feel the same way, and make similar comments. So do many others, but the tone, frequency, and nature of many of your posts seem to cause more consternation and blow back than others.

Which I acknowledged, some were ok with it and some not. I didn't even post the comments from the other articles which were more harsh....I think the point was made....it's all about perspective that one holds and everyone holds a different perspective based on how it affects them.
Joe Wolf should have gone to MU. Program would have been forever changed. Majerus stays for a long run; no Dukiet; no O'neil; no Crean, and eventually Bo Ellis becomes HC, keeping the McGuire lineage at MU to the present. And just think of the studs that would have been recruited by Majerus. More Roman Muellers, and Keith Van Horn.
Wolf and Ricky Olson were the finishin' touches for Majerus. He shoulda sent more ribs from Saz's up to Kohler, hey?

I don't share your enthusiasm for Bo Ellis as MU's head coach, regardless of lineage.
