Buzz Williams Update
« on: April 02, 2008, 09:28:54 PM »
Here's a Denver Post update on Buzz
http://blogs.denverpost.com/sports/2008/04/02/the-buzz-on-ex-csu-asst/

Here's the relevant text.

"Williams’ voice mail box was naturally full Wednesday morning. So a text exchange followed. He said he’ll go to Indiana if he doesn’t get the top job at Marquette and meanwhile “pray 4my wife + kids” facing the prospect of another yet another move."

This dude scares me. IU sounds like a good place for him.

I feel like Williams would be gone if he got the job at MU at the first good opportunity.

Agreed.  If we hire Williams, he will probably leave in 5-10 years, and we will be in the same spot we are in now.

That is just the way it is.  I hope whoever we get does such a good job he is getting offers from UNC and UCLA.

and IU when they fire Crean

I think Buzz is posturing a little after hearing some of the TT comments...a little scare helps pump him.  I like he is a great recruiter as MU needs a national guy (again, SC is our only WI scholie).  I like that Colorado St. and A&M have good things to say about him.  UNO is the ? mark...but I understand he felt the Admin wasn't going to support sports after Katrina vs. what he was promised.  Worth digging into.

More so, I like that he wants the job and the recruits and players want him.  I think we owe the three amigos continuity and the chance to make a run next year.  These guys+ Lazar stood up tall for MU today.

And, no, I don't think we are settling.  He has been a head coach.  And, after one year, I don't think he is a TC guy--in fact, it sounded like he was caught off guard, only hearing about it with the team.  Bet Rab knew prior.   I actually think he would be a great hire.  And, btw, any coach we hire may be gone in 5-10 years.

agree - if Buzz is good enough to go to a "better" program, then we will still be in a good place.

Oops...sorry Wes  :-[...but my point is we have more in/and in the pipeline from NY, IL, TX, etc.  In the BE, we need a national recruiter vs. a regional guy.
