Has Buzz become too big for his britches - is this why Larry Williams left?

[harigtad]

Looking back, seems like Larry Williams timed his exit perfectly maybe he knew this season was about to enter train wreck territory.

If Buzz is this stubborn in changing his lineup when it seems obvious that a change is needed, how difficult must he be to work with on a day to day basis?  Would he listen to a "boss"?

Just watching our players there is not the same life as the past few years, something is rotten and we may never know what that is, but I bet Larry Williams knew and didn't want to be associated with it - or this crappy bball product.

Yeah, that's why Larry's checkin' Monster.com daily.

Larry Williams left when Father Pilarz was let go. No surprise there.

[MerrittsMustache]

Is this regarding Buzz's weight? I feel like he's been doing a good job of keeping the in-season weight off so far.

[River rat]

what a pathetic post.  Its unfortuante that these posts are on here and even the ones that are not so blatant all over the board. 

Buzz and the other coaches are coaching their asses off, and the players are playing their asses off.  This year is simply a culmination of transfers, injuries, and early entry rising up and leaving us a little bit undertalented.  We have lost 2 or 3 games in over time and a handful of others by just a few possesions.  We have 2 kids playing a ton of minutes that had things gone the way the coaches projected would have gotten approx. the minutes they got last year.  That is too much to over come when the difference between winning and losing is so small.   

[harigtad]

undertalented, no.
We have talented frosh!
underplayed, yes!
I bet there are a bunch of top 20/50/etc teams that play a frosh more minutes than buzz does ours...

[River rat]

You should probably quit while you are behind.  HAve you watched Deonte play the last 3-4 games?  He was terrible, talented, bright future, but terrible.  Its a process.  No way Daawson turns in the numbers Derrick did, and unfortunately we need more than what Derrick does.  JuJuan is hurt....
But good answer.

Unfortunately the 19 year olds that drank their first beer after the lost and signed up for MU Scoop dont have any perspective and simply expect programs to go to the sweet 16 every year.  And dont realize that sometimes a culmination fo bad luck results in us having an undertalented team this year and that John Wooden and the 12 apolostles as asstants cant change that.  Dont remeber names like Dukiet, Deane, and Crean and dont realize Buzz is the best thig to ahppen to MU BBAll in 30 years. ok 26

Why do people only use the word "britches" when using this expression?

"I know Larry and his family personally from ND he is legit, Marquette should be very happy today!"

Also, this poster registered two weeks before Larry was hired (during the courting process?).

Another awful, awful poster coming out of the woodwork.

This place has become a cesspool of bad.

Well done.  So we have an ND alum/fan worried about MU basketball.  Thanks but no thanks.  Worry about that crappy ND team this year.  Maybe Brey is getting too big for his "britches"?  LOL

[harigtad]

Brey will probably deservedly get canned this year for the disaster that has become ND hoops.
I am a season ticket holder at MQ!

So we've now got Joanie Crean, Kevin O'Neill, and now Larry Williams posting on Scoop.  It's a regular TMZ up in here!

How dare you come on this board and post such blasphemy. Everybody knows that this season's problems were caused by Larry Williams, D. Gardner, McKay transferring, global warming/climate change, Rodgers shoulder injury...and...Bush.

Come on man. This worked when you were the only one not sipping the kool-aid, but there is plenty of criticism of Buzz this year.

Yeah, there has been some criticism this year, but also plenty of slurping also. Look at how this poster just got blasted.

I completely agree with you. Larry Williams understood we are rolling the dice with Buzz and he didn't want to gamble with his own reputation. So he left having made us a great deal for the new Big East and on the heels of the elite eight. Smart move on his part. Buzz should have taken the SMU loot when he had the chance. I guess we are stuck with him until he can produce again.

Yeah, Hoop, LW made a great decision to resign. Looks better on his resume' than being fired. He still exploring all those opportunities or has he settled on one?

Which isn't the true story...at all.

Ok so let us know what the true story is...

His contract wasn't going to be renewed.  He said that he would rather leave.  They negotiated some sort of buy out.
