AD resignation shocked Buzz Williams

[Spotcheck Billy]

A superb teaching moment then. The problem with the vast majority of Japanese restaurants in North America is that they are owned and operated by Koreans. Nothing wrong with that per se, but what you get is a Korean version of Japanese food that is made for gaijin palates. When I go into a Japanese restaurant I don't know I speak Japanese. If I get a blank look I go elsewhere.

Hai!

Now that Buzz has gotten rid of Pilarz and Williams are MUScoopers next?

We can't be gotten rid of (too many bodies to bury), we can only be contained.  That's what MUScoop is for.

I know a number of influential donors that say the Buzz/ Larry Williams rift had been resolved and was no longer an issue.  Both guys class acts and the small issues had long been forgotten about.  i will take their opinions over those of internet speculation.

LW's rift was with the BoT and the loss of Pilarz, not Buzz.

Why do you think he picked the last day of the semester, the last day of Pilarz Presidency, to resign?

It really isn't just internet speculation.  Mike Hunt noted the absence of any sort of relationship between LW and Buzz which I had heard about from elsewhere as well.  Perhaps the relationship wasn't bad...it just wasn't very good either.

If your boss doesn't communicate with you for six months  that is an excellent indicator of a pretty sh1tty relationship

New official Scoop motto, with apologies to Chris Berman : You can't stop us, you can only hope to contain us!

You are correct, many here in the southland are owned by Koreans.  I'm not particularly picky to be honest and it's her call anyway, but you are correct.  I actually do speak a bit of Japanese still, so I should be visiting the Japanese owned if I thought about it more.

FWIW, it seems the Japanese restaurants out here are run by Chinese.  After my wife asks where they're from in Japan they always say "I'm Chinese."  I'm always telling the waitresses Xie Xie.

In the aftermath of Hitler's defeat President Truman announced that the cornerstone of American foreign policy would be the containment of Soviet communism. The first test of this policy, known as the Truman Doctrine, was in Greece, which Hitler had invaded in 1941. President Truman remarked that the Soviet Union was a greater threat to the American way of life than Hitler had ever been.

I think the reason is that Chinese and Koreans are first generation immigrants and therefore tend to be involved in retail. There hasn't been Japanese emigration anywhere since the turn of the 19th Century so the Japanese American community is now at least in its fifth generation here in North America. As such, and because the community has always stressed formal education, Japanese Americans tend to go into the professions. In 2010, the Japanese American community had the highest level of per capita education and its household income is more than 30% greater than the national average.

My wife and in-laws seem to have a much greater mistrust for anything Russian than German although not by much.  Unknowing supporters of the Truman Doctrine.

From the MJS's Bill Cords article today:

Cords said he couldn't comment on the reason Wild gave him for Williams' resignation. It is known, however, that Williams and men's basketball coach Buzz Williams had engaged in a power struggle over the running of the school's top sport.

"I'm really looking forward to beginning to help and seeing how things are," Cords said. "One of the things I'm happy about is when I left, things kept right on going and they got better."

Upon his retirement seven years ago, Cords was replaced by Steve Cottingham. Cottingham was ousted two years ago as part of the university's conflict with the city after Marquette failed to report allegations of sexual assault by student-athletes. Cottingham is now an administrator at Colorado State.

I would think if either of these two topics were wrong, MU officials would be calling Hunt's editors.

I never realized this until I wanted to see if we were pronouncing "hello" correctly in Japanese... the waitress had no clue and didn't know a word of Japanese.

Now, having been to Japan, I understand the issue.  Why would any one want to leave Japan if they don't have to?  Great place, where they actually care about each other or at least treat one another decently.
