Man, Buzz doesn't pull any punches sometimes

I heard his comments on the post game last night with Homer.  I was surprised he said a pair of injured guys hadn't earned the right to play.  There is at least one player on the team who deserved a lambasting after the TN game.  If he's willing to make acerbic comments about guys who are hurt, than he should have no reservations about making the same type of comments about players who make boneheaded decisions.  At least these two have a valid excuse.  They are young and hurt.

I am sure James knew he screwed up, so there is no reason for the coach to drag it out in the media. I also think there are a lot of times that the foul on the three point shot would not have been called since the ball had already left the shooters hand and it looked like the shooter fell down on his own. Also a lot of times the technical would not have been called. Buzz did say he did not see the technical and does not know what James did to get the call. I can understand James' frustration when he got the technical. He was fouled on the shot and got no call and then they called a weak foul on Burke on the rebound. Hopefully, James learns from the experience. They said that the last techincal MU got was on Trend in the Stanford game and before that it was by Diener. If that is true then in James prior to this has never had a technical and MU has only had one technical during his tenure at MU. James had no reason to believe he would get a technical called on him and I believe in most games they would not have called it.

It's funny, I guess it depends on who is saying it publicly about the players.  Crean was ripped a new one for saying a player didn't play well, by some of the very people now saying this is no big deal.   

My point of view....I didn't mind it when Crean did it and I don't mind it when Buzz does it.

If you heard him actually say it in the post game it really is a non issue.

He might have just as well said...."They didn't play great but they played about how I expected considering they have been out all year. They will get better and we will need them to get better".

While I hate coach-speak, I think Buzz went overboard here.  Confidence is such a big part of the game, and its something that most freshman struggle with.  I have no idea how Buzz coming out publicly making those outrageous comments help the development of 2 kids we desperately need.

I like the word "putrid." In fact, I would use it to describe the process that produced Buzz Williams as the most visible person and the public image of Marquette University.

I hear that Cubes is transfering, granted this was after the game friday in a bar at 1:30, so it might just be drunk talk or me taking a drunks kids ramblings as informed, but that is what i heard.

even, it this is BS, there has to be more to it than Cubes is stuck behind 3 other guys who can play the 2.

hrm.. wouldn't that cost him his last year of eligibility?! If so, I doubt he's transferring anywhere.
