IWB's Inside the Al blog talk radio

[mu03eng]

Wait, IWB said that?    That Buzz wasn't given a raise after each/any of those S16/E8s? 

Maybe I'm getting old, but that's not what I remember.  Anyone?

I thought I remembered his contract having an automatic escalation?

I think its a rollover contract.  Not so sure about any escalation.

[melissasmooth]

I think it is a rollover with a 'cry wolf - get a raise' clause

I, too, thought there was a raise in at least one of those campaigns if not two of them.

Also, it was funny to read the recap where it said Buzz wasn't about the money, only about respect. And then the next recap is Buzz being dismayed by not getting a raise.

Can't have a boss mess with Happy a subordinate....terrible idea.      Basically we want a rubber stamp in there....through the course of college athletics that has ended badly so many times.  It can take a while to manifest itself, but can end badly.

Totally understand the Pilarz part.  Whomever Zach is on the IWB radio blog....he needs to maybe walk back the silliness.  You don't take a job as an AD at Marquette and not care about basketball.   Just as you don't take the USC job and not care about football, or the Minnesota job and not care about hockey, so on and so forth. 

I believe LW cared about the program. I think you are missing the point. It is not about how much he loved hoops, it's the way he tried to run things. At Marquette, the Basketball Coach will always be front and center. LW seemed to have some issues with that and it cost him. Live and learn. MU made the right move to send LW and Fr. Pilarz away. Bob Wild and Bill Cords are getting the ship back in the right direction, both from an overall university standpoint and the basketball program.

If we were to do a quick test:

Name the head basketball coach at Duke
Name the AD at Duke

Name the head basketball coach at Syracuse
Name the AD at Syracuse

Name the head basketball coach at Michigan State
Name the AD at Michigan State

Name the head basketball coach at Arizona
Name the AD at Arizona

Larry Williams might not be suited to be the AD at a school with major programs in basketball or football where coaches are the luminaries and AD's the off-screen talent. People can picture Robert DeNiro but who can identify Sidney Lumet on the street?

Ultimately, the tin foilers were proven correct in their level of distrust of the previous administration regarding basketball competence.

[keefe]

He's been a big LW backer in his battles with Buzz. Also a pretty solid Pilarz apologist.
