Buzz is young. Give it time. We all know he's a better coach than Crean and Bo, but he hasn't had as much time to prove it to everyone else.

Bleacher Report....................

Worth noting the only coach ahead of Buzz with fewer wins is Shaka Smart with 117, pulling in at number 11. Have to go to number 31, Colorado's Tad Boyle, to find another coach with fewer wins (121) than Buzz.

These types of things are fun during the offseson, but really mean nothing. Provides nice fuel for a guy like John Groce and Illinois who didn't make the cut.

I don't think Groce is too concerned about his Bleacher Report ranking.

I'll take Buzz over Shaka all day.

Also worth noting, Buzz was #24 on a Bleacher Report slideshow of the best coaches in college basketball 4 weeks ago.

Really worth noting-- Bleacher Report is absolutely, completely meaningless.

But a Shaka one!

So you're saying that Buzz will be the #1 coach in college basketball in about 12 weeks? 

That's awesome!

[Sunbelt15]

But a Shaka one!   

No. He's just a little better.

[NersEllenson]

No. He's just a little better.

And please enlighten all of us...how Shaka is just a little better?  Thanks in advance for your objective response.  Let's keep in mind coaching in the Colonial Athletic Conference and A-10 aren't quite in a class of the former Big East.
