We need another leader of men like Buzz Williams

[Blackhat]

Many of you were wrong it's ok.   I'm not here to judge. We need a coach with his passion and drive once again to succeed.

I would sure like to get back to junkyard dog ball, it's been missing for about 7 years.

Kelvin Sampson would be #1 on my list if this is what you want.

[Galway Eagle]

#5 from the guy who obsessively counts and memorizes lists and does pointless incorrect analysis?

[withoutbias]

God no. There's a happy medium between recruiting quality kids to the program and not winning like Wojo and recruiting kids who end up in the legal system under Buzz and before they get to Buzz but winning games. That's who we need.

I see things like taking responsibility for your actions and respecting women are not cardinal virtues for Buzz, and it showed.

I would be good with a Buzz-type as long as folks realize that Buzz has now finished Year 2 at TAMU and they still suck.

Buzz inherited a very good situation at Marquette. If several (or all) of DJ, Garcia, Lewis, Mitchell and Aidoo end up elsewhere, our cupboard will be more bare than a porn star. Buzz, or somebody like him, will have at least as tough a rebuilding job here as he has had at TAMU.

Buzz was a complete phony. Great coach but "leader of men"? Lol

[MU Fan in Connecticut]

Who would be the designated toilet flusher?

Maybe to the fans and admin, but definitely not to the kids that played for him.

They believed what he was preaching and they played like it

Agree Buzz inherited an awesome situation at Marquette and he knew it. Again in the old Big East MU was friends with other schools in the Old Big East and it helped. MU had more power from within in the Old Big East.

My main quality I'm looking for .. a coach who can bring a team together and be more than the sum of its parts. 

I want a winner, a guy who has taken mediocre talent and done something with it, consistently. 

I don't need a big name coach.  Give me a consistent, crafty mid-major HC who scraps together guys and puts up Ws.

+1. That's the way the game is moving as well, given the amount of player movement. You need a coach that can adapt, plug in talent and produce.

The whole, "let's get old and stay old"  idea is great in theory. But, it is becoming extremely difficult to pull off.

Fair. I don't doubt that his players loved him.

[TheGym]

Buzz left a stain on the program like no other.  Marquette fans bring up all of Wisconsin football off field problems, but seem to dismiss the ones within the family.

As Buzz said, "Character Revealed"

[Mu8891]

Buzz ?

Sure ... more sex assaults ( etc )

Terrible terrible publicity/ off court incidents

[tower912]

Buzz let to the anti-Buzz hire, which led to where we are now.   His teams were the most enjoyable to watch.

Revision, meet history.

[tower912]

Which part isn't true?   You don't think Wojo was the anti-  Buzz?   You don't think his tenure led to his firing which led to us being where we are now?

Who needs 4 or 5 star recruits if the 2 and 3 star guys play like 4 or 5 star prima donnas. Though a few 4 star guys wouldn't hurt.

[Cfollow]

Buzz is a leader of MAN. He does whatever he can to lead himself to more money. Dude is absolutely bat crap crazy. I'll pass.

  where is tom izzo when ya need em, eyn'a?

[Herman Cain]

I agree we need a leader of men. Buzz was a good leader on the court . However , his enthusiasm was burnt out by the end of his tenure . There were many reasons for his fatigue, however I think a lot of Buzz energy is an act. It is possible to keep up an act for several years but at the 7 year mark it is much harder. I think once he turns A & M around he will be on to something new.

Same idea.....Different flavor......

Same idea.....Different flavor......

With regard to that thought-wall, I pray Porter Moser never takes up golf.
The club will never make its way away from the ball. #post-its nightmares


The true talent of Moser is that, like an experienced golfer, he gets his charges to trust all of this they've studied and trained, so that the action happens seamlessly, without thought, basically ingrained into their muscle-memory. The individual to collective movement is like a flock of birds making pinpoint turns in unison. Calling it the product of "habit" or "culture" doesn't do it justice. It's truly the HolyGrail of "sum greater than the parts" we've been sorely lacking here.... to the highest degree.
