Great News!

Good news.

I'm especially enjoying all of the southern reporters covering their asses with "the buyout held everything up" stories in regards to Buzz turning down other opportunities. No, he was just never interested in leaving. I hope Rosiak comments about the horrible reporting that's been published these past few weeks.

March 30, 2011

Marquette University and men's basketball coach Buzz Williams have finalized a new agreement with the school, Director of Athletics Steve Cottingham announced Wednesday afternoon.

"The new agreement is an acknowledgement of Buzz's standing as one of the rising stars in collegiate coaching," Cottingham said. "The current direction of the program under his leadership fits perfectly into the mission and values of the University. Buzz has done a tremendous job guiding the program to successes both on and off the court and we look forward to that continuing for many years to come."

The Golden Eagles have advanced to the NCAA Tournament each of Williams' first three seasons as program mentor, including a trip to the Sweet 16 in 2010-11. MU is 69-37 (.651) overall during his tenure and 32-22 (.593) in BIG EAST Conference competition. Williams and his staff have collected multiple nationally ranked recruiting classes and attendance at the Bradley Center has reached record numbers since the 2008-09 campaign.

"I was given an opportunity beyond my wildest dreams 1086 days ago and my entire family is extremely humbled and grateful by the opportunity to continue this journey," Williams said.

"Too much attention is given to my position, but I assure you, it's the collective ownership of all of those who impact our program daily, who have developed the culture we currently have," Williams added. "I am thankful to all of those who work so diligently to make our program the success it is today."

Specific terms of the contract will not be released per University policy.

Buzz's trip to Houston is gonna be that much more enjoyable now.

this is why buzz is the right guy for the job here:

"The current direction of the program under his leadership fits perfectly into the mission and values of the University. Buzz has done a tremendous job guiding the program to successes both on and off the court and we look forward to that continuing for many years to come.”

Williams' deal with MU done

Wanting to sign a new contract with Marquette University before he left for the Final Four in Houston, Buzz Williams did just that on Wednesday, signing a sweetened deal that ends any speculation he might leave for the open job at Oklahoma.

Again, makes you feel like the recent allegations are not going to become an issue.

Does any other major coach have a rollover contract? I wonder why Buzz does that and what the pros and cons of it are. We didn't do that with Crean did we?

lol...I have had pro athletes, and coaches as clients, and have learned they are very accustomed to having others take care of everything for them, including the tab. lol

+1. would have a hard time believing they would have signed him so quickly if there were any major issues still hanging out there concerning the allegations.

What allegations? Nothing to see here people keep walking...

Great news for Buzz and MU. I'm hoping for at least a 5 year commitment from him now and a deep run in the tourney in years 2 and 5 of that time period.

Whether you are a big Buzz fan or not, another coaching change would have been a disaster. This is great news.
