The video starts in a few seconds.  Enjoyed his enthusiasm and praise of players.

Nice subtle dig!

Since I never attended a basketball practice it is hard for me to judge from that clip.  But I do like his approach to the players.  He communicates with them on their level but remains clearly in charge.

Dude.  Don't you read your own blog?

i like that it seems that the kids respond well to him as a coach.  however there are times before and after drills where he has a little joking around with a couple of them.  people have questioned on if he is crossing the line of friends/coach, but i feel it's a clear line to this point in his tenure.

plus DJ's shot looks good in practice.

Too funny.  I didn't get a chance to see the blog in a few days.  Happened to be on the Gomarquette site to get a link to the MU shop and saw it.

  people have questioned on if he is crossing the line of friends/coach,

Unless I see pictures of him on Facebook drinking with the undergrads at a house party, I would think he is on the correct side of the line.  And I would think having a coach that can relate to his players on a "friend" level might be beneficial at times.

With a prayer being said before practice i doubt we'll be seeing any Bruce Pearl or Larry Eustachy type pictures of Buzz.

edit:  Thanks B2002, You're correct...

Was it Larry Eustachy (sp) that was photographed at an on campus party at the opponents school?




Edit: Anytime.

It sounded like everyone wants Butler to contribute more. As he got an o-rebound everyone just started yelling for him to score. I think they know he can play, but he too tentative to be agressive on the offensive end right now.

Butler and Hazel need to step up NOW!

I think Larry Eustachy is the only guy on the planet that enjoys Natty Light more than me!!

People question evolution as well.  Any teacher or school administrator will tell you that research shows the student/teacher rapport is the single biggest large effect practice for increased student achievement.  I didn't see anything that came close to resembling a lack of professionalism on Buzz's behalf.  We're talking college kids here.  Some of my favorite professors were the ones who would take their student's out for a beer or two after class.  They were perfect examples of how you could go out, be responsible, have a decent conversation and call it a night.
