Would love to hear it, but I refuse to listen to WSSP on principle.
If anyone wants to recap, would love to hear what he says.

Jim Rome said Buzz is up in a couple minutes on his radio show. 1250 AM in Milwaukee.

Bulletpoints...

• Buzz thinks there should be more transparency in the Selection Committee. Wants clarity on which factors are most important.
• Wants to add former coaches to the SC, that the people on the SC have basketball as their life's work.
• Says everyone should understand how to schedule, personal opinion, we need help there.
• About his stat love, paint touches, keeping the other team out of "the box" near the hoop, and making more FTs than our opponents take, standard Buzzisms.
• Says X is better now than when we beat them last year, they don't get the exposure their talent deserves, Holloway is a top 5 perimeter player.

Rome: "Marquette fans, be happy to have Buzz as long as you have him. And you will not always have him."

Never liked Rome, never will.

"Excited to be playing in Xavier's home state. The guys that are scared to fly are happy it's a short trip.... Hopefully we'll do better than last year"

About selection... "There needs to be more clarity in terms of the criteria. We need to know what the most important criteria is from one to ten, so we know how to schedule."

"I shouldn't have revealed how freaky I am in regards to data and numbers... We want to average 47 paint touches per game."

"Defensively, we want to keep the other team out of the box. We want to keep the other team to 7 more non paint touches, than paint touches per game.  Lost track of what he was saying. He went into rain man mode. Rome asked him when he was going to start saying "Wapner"

Rome said Marquette needs to be happy to have him, because we won't always have him.

[SaintPaulWarrior]

Said team is leaving on their 50 minute plane ride later this afternoon.  After Buzz hung up, Rome said that Marquette fans should be happy to have Buzz and should be happy to have Buzz for as long as we have Buzz because Buzz will not be always be at Marquette.  Said he probably already is getting phone calls.

Pretty apparent he has been getting calls since last week for these couple positions.  

Is Rome foreshadowing something we don't know?

Annie get your gun.

I listened to it but I did not hear this part.  Was it at the end?

[leever]

Relative to the entire interview, it was at the end.  Relative to other interviews, I think Buzz did well except he may use 'relative to' relatively too many times!

[Goose]

I stated a couple of weeks ago my gut feeling is that Buzz leaves after this season. The closer we get to end of season the greater the need for Cottingham & Co. to do whatever it takes to keep him. We need Buzz to stay or we could be in trouble.

I was against the Buzz hire and cannot believe I am hoping he stays. We have too much lose if Buzz heads south.

Alright, so everyone with under 200 posts thinks Buzz is leaving with nothing but emotion to back it up.

Thanks for bringing your insight to the forums, guys =/

[4everwarriors]

I'm figurin' this recruiting class falls apart when he leaves.

[SacWarrior]

Wisconsin won't always have Bo Ryan.

I don't think Rome meant anything by the comment.

[BrewCity83]

Wisconsin won't always have Bo Ryan.

Rob Jeter to Wisconsin!?

[Windyplayer]

When is he leaving?

In an effort to get my post numbers up, I think Buzz stays.

Some of it is "emotion",  yes. But I think Buzz likes the fact that we are a BBall only school. He is getting his pieces in place...I think he is just as excited as the next guy about the future of MU bball.

Edit: Just realized I'm over 200...so I'm in the clear.

People who do other things besides post endlessly on message boards are more out of touch. Flawless logic there.

[NersEllenson]

I HOPE Buzz stays, but at the same time can't blame him if he leaves.  We know for a fact the coaching staff and athletic department do read these boards....and there has been enough negativity spewed around here regarding him and some of the players....to where a guy probably goes - WTF do these people expect?  What will be the climate around here if we actually miss an NCAA tourney (like North Carolina and UCONN have recently?).

If schools didn't feel like you could poach a coach from Marquette...that the program was such a destination job...you wouldn't hear his name come up.  Maybe our own fanbase needs to get a grip with reality and realize that due to no football team, and minimal HS talent in WI...MU is far from an ideal job.  The way you retain a coach is gratitude..money alone won't do the job..but if a coach feels revered, appreciated, respected, valued, etc....makes it that much harder for him to leave.

But doing that makes one a fanboy.  God forbid.

Yeah, what about his statement that he will stay at MU as long as they will have me.

[NersEllenson]

Well Willie..we know Buzz reads this board..and if he reads your posts...we know you wouldn't have him here...so...therein lies your answer.  You and about 10-20% of other posters here have voiced displeasure..and on a consistent basis...so maybe MU won't have Buzz.
