It's not a stretch to say that MU has had some PR issues during the Buzz era. In that context, it's a little easier to see why they made the choice they did --- Duke/Coach K have always been perceived as being squeaky clean, this hire may have been more about MU's image than anything. Might also explain the decision to ignore Howland, considering some of the stories that have been circulating about him.

And that may be a good thing.
I get the sense that Buzz and Wojo preach the same type of message (hard work, passion, relationships, yada yada). Let's hope Wojo practices a bit more of it than Buzz did/does...
