5 Year Evaluation of Buzz

[Coleman]

By the way, is this Buzz's 6th year? I did not check. But somebody posted that he has 6 straight NCAA appearances. If it is his 6th year, that guy sure is confident about where we are headed this year.

It is. This thread was hoopalooped

I'm going to rip on both of the crack candidates anyway.  If one  or both was worth voting for, I would.  See how easy this is?   Sorry, voting for someone who is inept, can't do the job, isn't qualified to do the job is not my idea of using one's intelligence.  Feel free to exercise yours any way you wish.  My country allows me to do this.  Some years I vote for people, ones I actually think can do the job.  Other years I do not....I'm not supporting someone that can't do it. 

Then why don't you simply write someone in?

I will add to the A category. 

The dude was not dealt the best hand outside of MU being a rich basketball-only school (resources, fan base, etc).  The truth is this.  MU is not a Kansas or Kentucky so its not like we have elite talent (or coaching) crawling to get in.  It takes alot of work to get talented kids to sign on the dotted line.  Crean did not leave Buzz a full cupboard.  The first year was great with the three amigos.  By Buzz's third year, it was basically all of Buzz's players.  To add to this, even though I know every program goes through injuries and tough breaks, Buzz has had A WHOLE bunch in the last 5 years.  Injuries to Junior, Du. Wilson, Fulce, Otule, Taylor, James, I am sure I am missing more.  Blue leaving was tough because he was not projected to get drafted at all and most kids would have stayed.  With all of that, we will had really good success.

This year totally sucks but this year would have been different had we had Blue, full strength Taylor, and a healthy Du. Wilson.  This year is bad but I don't think the future has looked this promising in some time.  All the freshmen look like ballers and Du. Wilson was suppose to be one of the best ones in the class.  Next year's class looks rock solid.  And as a MU fan, I am happy with the state of the program.

- Years 1 - 4 on the court, A+
- Year 5 on the court - C

- Off the court / Player Turnover - B- too much drama, too many recruits never making it to the season, too many surprise transfers...

I would say that averages to a B+ overall for 5 years...

Year 5 on the court we won the BEast championship and made the elite 8. This is year 6, which is what I'm assuming you're giving the C to.

yep - one year off on the C

I had it has an A, closer to an A- than A+ at the time of the original post. Would consider this year a D to this point, dropping the overall grade to a B, closer to a B+ than a B-.

Added to my ignore list, sadly.

Good idea.
