Buzz Williams on Short list of coaches under 45 who will make the HOF

[ChicosBailBonds]

I know it doesn't gel with your stir the pot MO, but Buzz aint goin nowhere

Wasn't stirring the pot at all, just reciting facts about MU coaches and their stay in Milwaukee.  I hope he stays...if I had a nickel for every fan that said their "coach isn't going anywhere" I'd be a rich man.  Every fan base says this.

[Sheriff]

What would this list look like if it were for coaches under 48?

[PVMagic]

While I love the pub for Buzz, it is a bit annoying that both of the selected quotes for this "Candid Coaches" series focused on what he could do elsewhere.

[Galway Eagle]

For the record Buzz Williams makes over 400,000 more than Rick Barnes and I highly doubt that the state of Texas would approve shelling out more for a bball coach as when Barnes got his last increase if was a BFD and ticked a lot of people off.

UT operates in the black. They only have 18 varsity sports (Boston College has 29). The AD wrote a check for $6M to the general scholarship fund. $400,000? Im petty sure they'll find that in the coach cushions. Then they'll splash the pot with with another cool mill and check out for nap time.

I don't know what your point is. If they fired Barnes tomorrow and Coach K called, do u think the UT AD would say he can only pay him as much as they paid Barnes? Ha

What's the state income tax in Wisconsin doing to that $400k?  What's the lack of a state income tax in Texas do?  

Of course all of this is dependent upon the salary mentions and other compensatory notes actually being accurately reported to begin with....often they are not.

[Dawson Rental]

I wish we had a coach like JT III that no one else wanted.

Do NCAA basketball coaches get taxed based on their home-state or is it divided amongst the states where they play their games similar to NBA players and golfers?

No my point is more along the lines of Barnes has 2 sweet 16s 2 elite 8s and a Final Four under his belt meanwhile Buzz has two sweet 16s and an elite 8.  I highly doubt that they'd pay more for a coach who has less to boast on his resume than the coach they had just fired.

Great question...it's one of the silliest taxes out there and started by my lovely state of California in 1991 when the Bulls beat the Lakers for the NBA title.  The fine taxation folks in California hit up the Bulls players and coaches for work in So. Cal.  Fundamentally unfair, in my opinion, because there is no representation.  These guys don't get to vote for or against any of the politicians in California, yet they are taxed there for their work...total money grab.

At any rate, I doubt Buzz is hit with the "jock tax" as they call it.  I believe it is confined to professional athletes, but I'm not 100% sure.

$30k difference on that additional $400k

[Chicos' Buzz Scandal Countdown]

Not bowled over by the analysis for. Those quoted here...


On Stevens: "After he gets fired and collects $22 million from the Celtics, he will come back to whatever school he wants and win a national championship."

Agree Stevens will likely return to NCAA but just chalking him up for a NC... That seems ridiculous for any coach to predict.

Look at how long it took Pitino to get back there with insane talent at Louiseville.

This is a bullshit puffer peice.... Happy out coach is sought after and respected; not going to let others' compliments ruin the ride.

I travel for work almost the whole year doing consulting work and have to log each state I work in for my hours.  I get taxed in each state I work in and have to file returns for each one based on their requirements, so this isn't just limited to athletes.  Over the last three years, I've had to file returns in 12 different states.

Same here with traveling all year and having to file in multiple states...it's not limited to pro athletes.

Honest question:  are you guys self-employed and filing on that basis?  Or are you employed by someone else and still required to file in each of the states in which you work and earn?

[WarriorInNYC]

I am employed by a consulting firm, so we have to log time on an hourly basis and required to file in each of the states.  If I log time in a different state than the one which I am working in, I get a friendly email reminding me to fix my state code.

I do know a few people who travel a lot for work in other industries where they do not keep track of this and only file in the state which they live in.

Home-state. The "jock taxes" are at this point aimed mostly at specific leagues (NBA, NHL for example).

[dbwarriors]

I'm employed by a consulting firm as well...required to file in each of the states in which I work in any given year.

[Strokin 3s]

I work for a large energy company and we just recently were required to start logging our hours worked in different states and filing individual state tax returns for time worked there.

That is rational thinking. Coaches salaries are not rational.

I am not worried about Texas. What I would be worried about is Buzz not getting some decent bigmen in this class to keep his success here going. I feel as long as Buzz is able to successfully recruit here he will stay. As soon as he finds he cannot get recruits to maintain or improve on the level of success he has had here almost any other school in Big Ten, ACC, Big 12 or Pac 10 becomes a threat to us. Buzz is smart enough to know that his value goes down (see Barnes) if he starts losing and he knows he cannot win for long without some type of size to play his switchables around. Getting commitments from Lammers and Miller would make me feel very secure for a couple more years.

His value wouldnt go down at MU if he started to struggle for whatever reason?
