Meanwhile Buzz is humiliating SLU

[Jon]

I ignore most of what Jon says.

Most folks find you both ill-informed and rather pedestrian in your breadth of knowledge.

Fortunately for me I don't live and die by what anonymous posters on MUScoop think of my breadth of knowledge. So not a problem by me.

Buzz is a good coach, had prior experience as a head coach, can recruit esp in the ACC and is at home in the south.

Wojo-? coach, rookie head coach, has had some good recruits and ? at home in the mid-West/BigEast conf.

Added up, that's 4+'s for Buzz, 1.5+ for Wojo

[connie]

That's fair.  And I think the answer is mostly "Markus" - but mostly because *I believe* he was not 100%, and Wojo didn't have a good backup PG plan (Chartouny didn't pan out).

Yeah, nothing else I can think of makes sense.  Very disappointing that no one else could step up.

[Jon]

Buzz...is at home in the south.

I wouldn't say that in the Republic of Texas because it ain't the South

Jon speaks the truth

Buzz just took a program to the sweet 16 that was far worse than the one he left at MU 5 years ago......

Congrats to Bazz.

[Dr. Blackheart]

Congrats to Bazz.

MU has two ex-coaches who are now S16 head coaches.

Hmm...what about Al and Rick.  Yeah, you are a short lifer.

We are talking 2019, sir.  Benford and Williams. Short-term memory an issue?

[Blackhat]

Happy for Tony Benford.   He was a great guy who has put in the hard work.

Was trying to remember yesterday when they were interviewing him (didn't even realize he was taking over for Wade until yesterday), didn't he have a low major head coaching job? Maybe North Texas?

Yes and bombed.  A great assistant, though.

[Mutaman]

Go Buzz- Beat Duke!

"Who cares"

[MU82]

I'm trying to remember if I've ever read a Scooper claim that Buzz isn't a better coach than Wojo.

Maybe I have. I just don't remember it. So I'm not sure what the idea of this thread was.

Buzz did a great job at Marquette. I was glad he was our coach. Had many, many, many very enjoyable moments watching his Warrior teams.

I wish him no ill will at VaTech and look forward to their game against the Dookies. Should be a good one.

I'm one of the stupid Scoopers who even appreciates what Crean did for our program, too.

And I like Wojo.

[wadesworld]

"Who cares"

Somebody's triggered. Sorry!

[Markusquette]

I like seeing Buzz do well with VT. A little bittersweet. Ahmed Hill turned into quite the guard.

Can't believe he's still playing. Mariol shayok as well (now done though). Couple of MU commits that turned out to be pretty good players.

Exactly.

There is nothing more condemning than VA Tech in the Sweet 16 while we suffered a humiliating One and Done loss to a mid major.

Buzzard is a weird f#ck but the man wins. And last I checked, the Marquette brand has always been Renegade. Buzz was a natural standard barrier for a program that always defined its own path with a Damn the Torpedoes mentality.

Instead, the face of MBB is an unsophisticated, bland, not particularly bright guy who is afraid to make an actual statement about anything. How many times have we seen him on the sidelines flashing that "Dan Quayle in the Headlights look of confusion?" 

Enough. Dear God correct this mistake.

[The Sultan]

You're acting like Marquette made a binary choice between Buzz and Wojo.

[Jon]

You're acting like Marquette made a binary choice between Buzz and Wojo.

A couple of us know for a fact that Wojo was seen as a refreshing counterpoint to Buzz' schtick and that was a crucial factor in his hire. 

[vogue65]

You're acting like Marquette made a binary choice between Buzz and Wojo.

Not acting like, they did.
A choice about style, image, admission policy, basketball philosophy etc..
I don't know if "binary choice" is the correct use of the term, but as it turned out, Buzz and Wojo are extreme opposites. 

[Jon]

Buzz and Wojo are extreme opposites.

Yea, Buzz is playing in the second weekend again while Wojo not only failed to win but thoroughly humiliated in the Opening Round by a mid major of rather slender accomplishment.

And if there was any doubt that mid major got smoked by 30 two nights later.

Buzz and Wojo extreme opposites? No sh1t.
