I don't disagree with what you are saying, I'm just thinking bigger picture. Even if Fr. Wild and Cottingham remained in charge, I'm not so sure the relationship would be perfect forever.

MU could certainly have done a better job of maintaining the relationship, but there is little doubt in my mind that Buzz can be difficult to deal with. It's just built into his nature. He never forgets, and he uses it all to maximize his output (and his team's output).

He attacked MU's own color guy over a perceived slight. After MU made the elite 8, he didn't celebrate with a "we did it!", he celebrated with a speech about how "nobody thought we could do it".

I think Buzz is a good coach, so my opinions are not some sort of commentary on his abilities (he'll do well at V. Tech). I just think that he's a guy who is always searching. Searching for an edge. Searching for something to use. Eventually, he's always going to find it.

No disagreement with this, Guns

I don't doubt your source, but big picture, here's the thing:

Buzz felt slighted at UNO after (insert amount of time)
Buzz felt slighted at MU after (insert amount of time)

Buzz was never an assistant at any school for very long. He always left for another gig.  He's never going to be a "lifer" anywhere. It's not who he is. Never has been.

Again, I'm not saying MU is perfect, but I also think Buzz is just "us" vs "them" guy. He's always looking for an edge. Not surprising that given enough time, he finds reasons to have an edge.

We'll see what happens at VTech.

Agree completely.

Buzz might be one of those Lon Kruger/Larry Brown/etc types who can't stay in one place for long.

Cincinnati being fed up with Huggins has not worked out so well either.

Huggins brought some good exposure for Cincinnati and some horrible exposure for Cincinnati.  The school chose not to have the inmates running the asylum.  Now, whether they made the right hire to replace Huggins is another story, plus factor in their conference situation, which was going to happen whether Huggins was there or not.
