Buzz on the front page of ESPN

I don't think Buzz golfs either.

Jerry Tarkanian always said that he would never hire an assistant coach who owned a set of golf clubs.

[GGGG]

"More than 10 years ago, when Crean was at Marquette, a prospect informed the coach that he would be signing elsewhere because he wanted to learn from someone "who had actually played the game."

Crean's on-court career didn't extend past high school.

"I took it as a slight," Crean said. "It motivated me. I told him, 'You do what you want, but when we play you, make sure you pay attention to the double-teams we put in place to keep you from scoring.'

"The kid redshirted his first year and hardly played the year after that. He eventually became a decent player, but we won a lot more against his team than we lost. I think I made my point.""



What a petty dick.

Crean?  Or the posters that can't let it go?

More interesting to me is the claim from Buzz that he was good enough to play at one of the 'bible colleges.'    That indicates a fair amount of game and a keen grasp of fundamentals when he was a young man.

For sh*ts and giggles, I just looked up Maranantha Baptist College of Watertown's roster.  It includes a freshman from Lodi who scored 4.0 ppg as a senior.

I don't think it takes all that much game to play for these types of schools.

Buzz is a traditional?

Damn.   I should have gone to a 'bible college.'

My roommate for three of my four years at Marquette played several years of varsity basketball at a large public school in the Houston area.  He was a very good basketball player who [more than] held his own in pick-up games at the rec (including against the player pictured in your avatar -- which seemed to irritate that particular player).  I doubt he could have walked on at MU (although I'm not sure it would have been out of the question), but he absolutely could have played at one of the "bible colleges" around Texas.  During Christmas break one year when I was with him in Houston we went to watch one of his former teammates play for University of Mary Hardin-Baylor, and he clearly could have played at a school of that caliber.  He loved playing basketball, but when it came time to go to college, he decided to move on to something new.

Crean couldn't break 120 at frisbee golf.

A former player once told me that Crean was suspect, because he never played the game.

He learned basketball like he learned people skills and leadership....from books.

I think that this is muhoosier260's first shot.  Everyone should get one bite at the apple.  He certainly hasn't shown the obsession with it that many others have.

1,529 Days ago since the guy left to use a Buzz rainman counting methodology.

Wasn't there a Buzz counter on MUScoop? Did the Admins take it down or is it still active?
