Buzz to be on Jim Rome show at 11:30 CT

[NersEllenson]

My God, what crap.

What on earth has Buzz Williams done to deserve to be "revered?"  He's gotten MU to a few NCAA's, where they've lost early.  The guy gets some decent recruits, but his game coaching is suspect and his defensive scheme is an outright disaster.  If he leaves, he can be replaced.  Save your man-crush fanboy love for a coach who has truly achieved something special.

Hey Willie - Coming from the poster who posts more crap here than any other - not sure you should be so quick to trash my post as crap.  Buzz just completed Year 3 at Marquette...what he's done so far is very good...maybe not yet "achieved something special."  I don't know of many coaches that walk into a situation where in Year 2 on the job the roster has 4 scholarship players signed (that go on to make the NCAA that year..and the following.)  Do you not like the recruits Buzz has signed?  Are you not confident that our Top 100 kids will materialize into very good players as juniors/seniors?  I like the thought of Jamil Wilson, Vander, Junior, Jamail Jones, Erik Williams, Chris Otule, Devante Gardner as juniors and seniors - with Juan Anderson, Todd Mayo and Derrick Wilson coming off the bench..

Billy Gillespie wanted Buzz at Kentucky once he decided he was leaving UNO, and offered more than the salary you said was ridiculous for an assistant.  He turned it down to come to MU.

Williams would have stayed. It was reported in a Colorado paper initially that Buzz said he would stay as HC or follow Crean to IU. Facing the prospect of moving again, he asked the reporter to pray for his family. I think Buzz wants to settle into place, he's just had some tough luck between Gillespie leaving Texas AM, New Orleans turning out to be a disaster job and Crean bolting.

I dug this up because I remember Buzz taking less money to come here and went out of his to pray he did not have to leave.

Am I crazy in thinking he likes Milwaukee and wants to stay here?  Maybe his next job in UWM?

Aren't some of these programs looking at Assistant Coaches at top level programs like Duke, UNC, Kansas, etc.?  It seems all the rumors go right to other D1 head coaches.
