Coach Williams is a great coach because. ..?

matty v is not a 'stats guy'.

Lenny, how is a 6-11 matchup a pick em game?  That's not factual in any way.

A 6 vs. 11 can be anything. Take last year's tournament. An 11 was a solid favorite over a 6 and won. (Minnesota over UCLA. Would have bet on it if the 6-seed was the favorite... but 11-seed Gophers were -3.)

Got it, you can't name one

And you can't come to grips with this season and Buzz's abysmal failure. I have never said he should be fired.

Goy it--don't need to answer your lame question. Slurp, slurp to the ignore button.

Coach Williams is a very good coach because..?

...he masterminded a 17-15 season with no dance card received.

Jay Bee -

Your the perfect storm when hyperbole and self smugness breed.  Never saying anything meaningful yourself, yet unintelligently responding with unwarranted narcissism.

The moderators would do the forum a favor to permanently ignore you that way you can revel in your overinflated sense of self worth, arguing incessantly with your own posts which do nothing to expound your opinion or shed light on your dissent.

We get it.  You'd tune into your own radio program if you had the chance.  Now can you please actually contribute anything of substance or do you find that doing so exposes your lack of critical thought?

- He knows and tries to understand his kids (and their families) on more than just the basketball level
- He's modest (not a blowhard like I4)
- He's eccentric...and admits it
- He tries to surround himself with people who can support him and not necessarily those who will become branches added to his coaching tree
- He saves the foul language for practice
- He doesn't name drop
- His attention to detail

Just so JayBee doesn't have to toot his own horn, he does make insightful comments on high school recruits.  I don't follow the high school circuit, but I do see posters regularly asking for his opinion on some kid at Saint XYZ Prep.  He provides insight on our recruits, our potential recruits, as well as recruits at other BE schools.

Answer: Because he doesn't think he is...

That's why.

Jay Bee has already spoken to this, but here goes. A team's seeding, more often than not, is indicative of which team is favored. Teams seeded on the 1 through 4 lines have always (to my knowledge) been favored versus the 13s through 16s. After that, pretty much anything goes. This year (today, actually) #11 seeded Tennessee is a 4 point FAVORITE over #6 seeded UMASS. Louisville is a #4 seed this year but would be a FAVORITE over 11 of the 12 teams seeded above them and a pick em against Florida. Assuming that the seed number (or even a team's ranking) determines who is favored indicates a basic lack of understanding on your part. Not trying to be a dick but that is unequivocally a fact.

[Lennys Tap]

I think the elite 8 is an accomplishment, but what I wouldn't label anything Buzz has done in the tournament as special unless that included a final four.

A sweet 16 is my benchmark to a successful season.

A final four is my benchmark to a truly great year.

You are a tough grader. By your standards, TC had 1 great year and 8 unsuccessful ones. Even Al had only 2 great years and more unsuccessful seasons than successful ones. I think you have Marquette confused with Kansas or North Carolina.

In case you can see me. You are right, you never said he should be fired. But when I said he gets 2-3 bad seasons (including this one) before he's on the hot seat, you quoted me, accused me of slurping, and said it was ridiculous. I took that to mean that you think 2-3 bad seasons is too much of a leash for Buzz and he should be fired before that.

If you explain what you meant, maybe we could find some common ground.

I have had many doubts about Coach Williams throughout his tenure at Marquette.

Now I am left to wonder what his plans, strategies and schemes have been throughout his years at Marquette.

I cannot fathom what the good folks at Virginia Tech see in Buzz or are expecting of him.

Hey TAMU--how has all that slurping worked out for you? Not in your wildest dreams? The neverending nightmare continues. Start row eating.

Look on the optimistic side---maybe we will get an honest and sincere guy this time that does not fill up the airwaves with slop. I, for one, hope we do.

I know he hardly ever won on national television,  right?
