I am not sure if this was already posted but here's a link.

Here's a good quote:

SLAM: It seems like every year Marquette is a really tough out in the tournament. What is it about Buzz Williams that makes Marquette so good every year?

JC: He gets maximum effort out of his players. Somehow he does it. He turns these guys into what he wants them to be, which is hard-nosed guys. No matter if the ball's going through the net, he just wants you to play hard and give it all you've got. He wants you to exert every piece of energy you have. I think he's done a tremendous job with each and every year installing that into guys and building the program. I think he's really turned the basketball program around and he expects so much and sets the bar so high for each and every player that comes through—he gives you the opportunity to be great and he just pushes you, pushes you, pushes you every day to be the best you can be.

Weird that throughout the whole interview he never mentions Marquette once.

He didn't have to, but if you closely identify with your school, you'd probably at least mention it by name just once.


His words:
  That was amazing. Like you said, I knew he would be in the building that night, and I really wanted to go to his school. I really liked his school once we talked, and I really wanted to perform well for him—you know, his first time seeing me live in action. But that didn't happen, I actually fouled out of the game, but he still was interested. So at that point I knew it was a no-brainer where I was gonna go to school.

For him after bouncing around from school to school I'm sure it's more about the people here than it was the school.
