Buzz Bashing

Smith Corona or Royal?

For some reason it is a phrase I have hung onto.

Here's the thing.   What is now being said about Wojo is what was being said 6 years ago about Buzz.    Many were fed up with Crean.   They just held their tongues while he was our guy.  Lots of stories came out.    Now there are lots of stories about how terrible Buzz was but everybody held their tongue.    If WoJo does turn out to be the next coach at Duke, there will be horrible stories about how he never truly bought in.      Just another part of the process.

Picture, if you will, a really hot babe.






And know that out there, somewhere, walking the face of this earth, is at least one man who is tired of her sh1t

I've seen some say that Brazzer tanked but I don't think that's the case. I do wonder if he sandbagged this year by, as others have speculated, playing certain players or not playing certain players, whether due to personal differences or to try to prove a point that his way is the only way. And I think that believe, that he sandbagged, is reasonable given a few things that have come out since he left.

Isn't "sandbagging" as you put it by playing inferior players over others, because of stubbornness a form of "tanking"

This season was so bizarre in so many ways, I've tried to think of so many logical reasons for some of the rotations and minutes distributions but I haven't come up with any that make much sense. In the end, I think Buzz has some mental demons to deal with and those manifested themselves on the court and in the locker room this year. Pretty apparent he damaged some relationships in the process. Probably a good time to make the split between the two parties, wish it could have ended differently.

Well said.  Best for both parties to move on.  Quite evident he lost a majority of the team this past season - and to no one's surprise - as he was ALL over the board with his substitutions/rotations, etc.

What I'd really like to see is some quotes from Davante - seems he's been entirely silent on the whole matter.  Perhaps he's just going with the:  If you don't have something nice to say, don't say it at all mantra.

To be honest, I dont think Davante cares about the matter all that much. Hes probably just planning his trip to Europe.

Yes, that is true.  Then there are also the major differences, as well.


1)  Crean wasn't forced out \ left for one of the worst jobs in a major conference, he left for a blue blood which is a normal career arc
2)  Crean didn't crap on the conference, the TV network, etc in his departure
3)  MU didn't want Crean out, MU had no problem with Buzz leaving....there are reasons (many) why.  I'm not sure why this is so damn hard for people to process around here


Wojo is going to leave some day, they all do.  Let's hope like hell he doesn't act like Buzz did or his departure will be sooner rather than later.

Where the hell did you get this? The man was fired for cause!
