Buzz came in 4th in coaches under 45 who will make the Hall of fame.

"On Williams: "Wait till Buzz gets the Texas job. It'll be him and Bill Self at the top of the Big 12 pretty much every season.""

This thread won't end well..

This is good I've been dying for yet another thread of buzz to Texas panic

[Ellenson Guerrero]

Lets just say that I will be cheering very hard for the Longhorns and Rick Barnes this season.

[Coleman]

Thanks Hoyas. The "Buzz to Texas" angle was one none of us were aware of

I'll give everybody two guesses who wrote the article before clicking the link.

And Buzz says he doesn't have an agent ....

Not a panic, but shouldn't be ignored. 

Last 62 years, two of our coaches made it to 9 or more years.   Since the program began in 1916, only two coaches have made it beyond 10 years....Bill Chandler and Al McGuire.

Average tenure of a Marquette coach through MU program's history....6 seasons.  Buzz starts season 6 this year.

Lets just lock this thread now before it gets out of hand.

On a related note, the premise and content of this article is ASTOUNDINGLY
vapid and laughable.  Any takers for those "quotes" being completely and utterly
"Scott Templeton-ed?"

[hoyasincebirth]

I've read this board enough to know that the concern that buzz might return to his texas roots is not new, but it is interesting that one of his colleagues thinks so as well and not just talking heads. Maybe its a recruiting ploy maybe its just a case of where there is smoke there's fire. But for the sake of the BE and the sake of Marquette yes I think everyone should hope Rick Barnes can turn it around.

Are you saying Buzz and GP are tight?  That what GP says is really what BW says?

Maybe its Tom Crean? Maybe its Maybelline?

[KenoshaWarrior]

Wow it is already April 16th eh?  Looks like this school year went by really quick.

This has been a boring summer with little Marquette news (thank you, Journal-Sentinel) and so we make it up as best we can. There's about four stories that recurringly appear, all of which can be filed under the general category of "Hiroshima."

In this case, everytime we see a "Buzz to ____" story, somebody on here goes nuts and thinks we're about to lose him. Folks, I've been around MU basketball since the late 1960s and we've got a great gig here. The Jesuits spend lots of money to make lots of money. The school has a history, including a recent very good one. We're on the upswing and despite the bitc-ing in here, our alumni loves the place and is extremely supportive.

Now let's consider Texas for a moment. Great school, great athletics, no doubt. But the basketball coach always will be second fiddle to football. Everything in Texas is second fiddle to football. The community can be fickle. They can probably pay an arm and a leg and get some oil zillionaire to cough up for it. But the platform isn't better than Marquette and I'm not sure the Big8-4-2 or whatever it is should be materially better than the Big East.

If we lose him, which I doubt we will, life goes on. But realistically, we'll keep him and win another national title or two. if we lose, we're now a premier job for many coaches and we'll be fine.

That said, I'll be looking to see Buzz hoist that banner next to 1977 soon

[Pakuni]

Maybe its Tom Crean? Maybe its Maybelline?

I blame Larry Williams.

You can sleep easy Hoya. I'm not worried.

[Aughnanure]

I want to believe so bad. But I can't until that job opens and someone else gets it. Here's hoping they love Shaka or something.

[LAZER]

Might as well cheer against Mack Brown and the Longhorns this season too.

[swoopem]

I've heard that they would make a move at Josh Pastner from Memphis, hopefully there is some truth to this.

[Galway Eagle]

It's ok if Buzz leaves we just get Tom Crean back because by then he'll say "it's Marquette"

[lab_warrior]

I'm going to go ahead and do what I always do in regards to Texas athletics--GIVE NOT ONE S***.

[Skatastrophy]

Buzz to the Rockets.
