Larry Williams: We need to avoid becoming Penn State

[DienerTime34]

Hoo boy. All sorts of juicy nuggets in this one: http://www.marquette.edu/magazine/recent.php?subaction=showfull&id=1349369276&archive=&start_from=&ucat=7&;

Nice article actually. Win with integrity should be the only direction at Marquette.

[KenoshaWarrior]

Penn State?  Really?  Penn State??

This implies that we somehow WEREN'T or that Buzz is opposed to doing so.  Not sure how these are anything but common sense statements that make it seem like we weren't/aren't until savior boy Larry showed up.  Not a fan at all.

I think he really comes across as a bit of an ass with all the talk about how he was studying and his friends aren't doing as we'll as he is.  Congrats on your visionary nature, now Get over yourself.

Yes like didn't the Catholic Church messed up first.

Na, this is how ADs perceive that they have to operate in a post-Penn State scandal world.

Squirmy.

I'll say over.

If our program was already doing everything by the book, why is their friction between Buzz and the ad? I think Buzz is a great coach, an even better recruiter and a solid guy but I still get the D-1 bball coach feel from him. He says all the right things but I think he let things slide with players and recruiting. May LW is over reacting but he does has a job to be the rule enforcer. Buzz can deal with that or he can head out. I think buzz will stay at mu and adapt.

[WarhawkWarrior]

You can't read anything but "saying the right things" in a fairly eloquent and comprehensive manner.
I've met this guy and he is smart, confident and really believes in kids and Marquette.  Yep, it hurts that he is from ND.  His family's education success is pretty unbelievable.

Another ignorant KenoshaWarrior post?  Really?  You'd better believe it. 

[TheTulsaWarrior]

No coach, no AD, no school administrators wants to become a Penn State.  Good people have to come together and agree on policy to make sure that doesn't happen.  It all starts with respect not with someone coming in and saying I'm the only one who knows what to do.

[LloydMooresLegs]

Very misleading subject line in OP

[77ncaachamps]

If we were Penn State, would Newbill still transfer to us?

Buzz scares the big brass. Nothing has changed in six months and the same issues exist today. Hopefully they are putting together a good list of possible replacement for Buzz.

Define "big brass."  The general consensus is that Buzz and LW have something going on... and an AD doesn't exactly seem like a big brass position.  Maybe medium brass.  Perhaps big pewter.  Definitely not big brass though unless the BOT is diamond encrusted platinum.

Larry's boss, Benny B.

[Knight Commission]

Big fan. Completely the right messaging. buzz needs to have a monitor.

There is some of that, PRN, but I'm actually surprised that none of his kids went to ND.  That would have been a huge "tell" for me.  All that legacy crapola...

And this.

Regardless of intent or right/wrong it makes my stomach turn that this is happening in the press. How childish and frankly I expect more from the admin.

Ummm ... yeah.
This isn't in the press. It's the quarterly Marquette Magazine. Chances are, this interview was conducted weeks ago.

Doesn't that make it more peculiar?
