Are You Scared?????

Um, didn't the administration fire Deane and hire Crean?  And hire Buzz and then everyone said it was nuts? Revisionist historians.  Gotta love 'em.

Sure - Guess my viewpoint of University "Administration" is not the Athletic Director position.  Anyone could see MU was going to hell in a hand basket and fast with Deane as the coach.  I was there at the time and very close to the program.  Getting rid of Deane wasn't any stroke of genius...it HAD to be done.

Hiring Crean was a home run hire - and Bill Cords deserves credit for that.  Cottingham bringing Buzz on as coach took a good deal of courage - but at very least he had 1 year of contact with Buzz, saw his work ethic, recruiting talent, etc.  It is VERY clear to virtually anyone with an eye for talent - that Buzz has the "it" factor.
