Worst coached team in the conference. Period.

[silverback]

There's no denying the fact or defending what we've seen in the last few games. Just awful, clueless, gutless basketball.

We ARE and will continue to be the worst coached team in the Big East. There are teams with less talent behind us in the standings. But given our players, they would also display higher basketball IQ and more hustle than us.

This is also the worst defensive squad seen at Marquette since at least Mike Deane's last couple of teams — or since Dukiet's era at the very least. The proud, tough defensive identity of Marquette basketball built by O'Neill and Crean has been so totally wiped out by this current rube's "paint touches, free throws, just outscore them" idiocy that I'm left dreaming of the day when this Three Stooges reject from Texas takes his sweet tea and barnyard wisdom on to his next victim.

Get upset and sanctimonious, if you choose. Drink the blue and gold kool-aid and pretend the future is bright. But the Buzz honeymoon is over regardless of how this season progresses. Local media is onto him, and so are fans who've been around long enough to know better. The calls for new leadership will begin now with whispers and build consistently now that Crean's properly developed players are gone.

I'll stay a fan and await the inevitable. There will come a new day of proper, well-developed Marquette recruits from major high schools instead of a mishmash of kids not talented or not bright enough to play at a major program out of high school. There will come a day when the high school players we do get are developed properly and put in a position to succeed. There will come a day when this overdressed Boo Radley with a clipboard leads another program to insignificance.

"See, I'm not a monster. I'm just ahead of the curve."

there's some unnecessary vitriol in your post. 

But i will agree buzz looks clueless as a defensive coach.     

[Da 'Lanche]

So...what do you really think?

A little premature to denounce the whole program under Buzz....don't you think?   Give it two years...one way or the other you will either be proven as ahead of the curve or a vitriolic reactionist.

To paraphrase radio talk show host Mark Levin, "shut up you idiot and get off our board!"

[silverback]

Scoreboard, folks.

I expect the defenders around here to get more and more nasty as the truth sets in and they become more desperate to avoid admission of how wrong they were about this clown.

Buzz isn't the guy. He just doesn't have it in him.

Let's hear your solution for who is the coach to get it done at MU (that will actually come to MU).

[New Era Warriors]

and hire a proven winner that coaches disciple basketball. This team is the most un-disciplined team I have EVER seen. Just pathetic. At HOME, against St. Johns, a MUST win, on Al's night and we lay another huge Fing egg in the second half.


HORRIBLE.

[77ncaachamps]

No hate towards Buzz but this season definitely marks the end of his honeymoon, for me at least.

He needs better assistants, imho.

[denverMU]

Moron, we made the NCAA 2 seasons in a row with Buzz and we can this year.  By your standards I guess Tom Izzo and Roy Williams are terrible too.

Who do you have in mind?  I'm all ears.

Again, please name a proven winner that will come to MU and coach.  When is the last time MU has hired a "proven winner?"

New orleans wouldn't even want him back

[Blackhat]

It's way too premature to look for possible replacements, but if we struggle next year I can see MU going after a guy like Brian Gregory.

[marquette09]

I hear Bob Knight is on the market and that he has a soft spot in his heart for Jesuit Schools in Milwaukee

[groove]

and he'll be leaving us with a bare cupboard by the time he is gone

Losers have a way of always complaining but never offering solutions.  Still waiting for you to offer some solutions.  Step up and share with all of us what proven winner of a coach is salivating to come to Marquette.

This is a terrible comparison. Check out the hardware that Izzo and R. Williams have. When Buzz has a national championship under his belt, call me back. Heck, call me back when they make the sweet sixteen. Izzo and R. Williams have earned a longer leash, without a doubt. Buzz has established no such credibility.

[Ditka]

Wrong!!!!

Buzz did not loose this game.  Are two JUCO guards mailed this one in. 

[NersEllenson]

Mark Turgeon

If you think he's going to leave Texas A&M for MU..that alone illustrates part of the problem with some of our fanbase - unrealistic perception of the programs appeal and stature on the national coaching landscape.

[New Era Warriors]

Todd Bozeman

Brad Stevens

Brian Warldle (not proven winner, but still)

It's just as bad to compare a coach in his 3rd season, at 38 years old to guys who are 50+ with 20+ years coaching experience - one of which is has coached at Kansas and UNC - 2 of the blue blood programs in CBB

I dislike the tone and attacks on Buzz in this thread.

With that said, Ners, I don't think throwing your hands up and saying that MU can't do any better is really a ringing endorsement for your favorite coach.

With that sort of attitude, MU should have kept Dukiet, stayed in the arena, and play in the A10. "Well, what if we can't do better??"

Buzz is a good coach and I like him, but not because I don't think MU "Can do better".

So if you have an old pair of shoes with crap on them, you don't wipe off the crap?

[Warrior1]

It seems like it was Buzz suited up on the court against five St. Johns players.

Get a grip guys! Buzz has been fine! I'm not satisfied with how we were playing today, but come on there are five PLAYERS on the court too! I used to think everyone only obsessed over Crean leaving, but now I think people go out of their way to blame Buzz for EVERYTHING, or really anything!
