Duane Wilson has some thoughts on Buzz

[Galway Eagle]

TAMU beat me to the Buzz isn't having as great as year as you might think post by an hour. Ask me about their season when they start playing much more of the top 1/3 of the SEC than they have so far. Will they make the tourney with not a great seed? Probably yes. Just thought of this. There'd be some chance MU would play A & M in something like an 8-9 or 7-10 game, or even in a play-in game in Dayton.

I would gladly go to that game and chant against buzz as much as possible

[brewcity77]

I wouldn't even go as far to say that they will make the tourney. I could see them with 20+ wins but no tourney berth because they have 0 Q1 wins

Their resume reminds me a bit of the Ellenson team. Quantity without substance.

I'll also leave this here without further comment.

Could there be a more racist staff coaching between Buzz and KKKermit Davis???

I was told when Buzz arrived that he actually hated white people.  Buzz was the first MU coach to put two African Americans on the staff (as real ACs).

I imagine that it's tough for Duane to see his undergrad alma matter essentially disavow him (TBT team don't want him and loads of fans turned on him for "betraying" MU when he grad transferred) and now the coach who promised him everything and then bailed is coaching his Grad alma matter. I'm sure it just creates a weird mix of emotions when you want to be a fan and he wanted to vent some of it.

He was the 2nd most successful coach in Marquette history,  the most successful coach in Virginia Tech history and will likely be a success at Texas A+M - because he's really good at coaching basketball.

Buzz is the most successful coach in Virginia Tech history???

Howie Shannon took them further in the NCAA Tournament and had a higher winning percentage to boot.

[NCMUFan]

Seem to recall posts about Duane having a very good 5th year at Texas A&M.
Seems like Buzz and Duane just couldn't reconnect at Texas A&M.
In any case - "It's all history!".

He was having a good year.  He got hurt.  But he didn't play for Buzz at A&M.

Honestly I think his dad poisoning the well has a lot to do with why Marquette has "turned their back." But maybe under Shaka things can improve.

Buzz pushed both of those guys out then bailed on MU. Buzz sucks.

Buzz was a great coach at Marquette. Crean's F4 aside, Buzz was MU's second-best coach, only to Al. Odd dude. Questionable-character recruits at times. Sure. AD Larry Williams?...was a disaster.

There it is. Used the phonics on it for cover too, nice.

[4everwarriors]

No cover needed. Simply embarrassing for a college grad. Or, do we accept and excuse this too, hey?

I mean it is twitter not exactly a term paper.

[Newsdreams]

I wont go by records, to me 2nd most important & best coach at MU is KO. Took over a BB program in shambles and brought it back to national relevance, brought in best big, only AL was able to recruit better bigs, coached at next level (not successfully). I think best combo of coaching and recruiting after AL. Plus he was very entertaining.

A dude who posts in largely nonsensical English here is calling out how someone Tweets?

Okay.  Thats how you feel but isn't backed up by the data.

 C'mon man, even St. Norbie grads gotta be more proficient, aina?

Hi, Pot. Meet Kettle.

If we accept and/or excuse your regular crucifixion of the English language, shouldn't we accept his English?

Again i 100% believe in business professional speech and writing in the right context. But it is twitter...

Buzz had a couple of good years at Marquette followed by 5 years of not finishing higher than 5th in the ACC, and making the S16 once.  After which, he promptly left town again and headed to TAMU, and is having a great year so far.

TAMU is not having a great year so far.
They've feasted on a joke of a schedule (KenPom SOS = #291 overall, #324 nonconference).
12 of their 13 wins are against Quad 3 or Quad 4 opponents.

[4everwarriors]

Do what you want. Isn't that the beauty of America? I choose to call him out.
Maybe you can't differentiate one who knows and utilizes the English language properly on a daily basis and one who doesn't know any better. Particularly, after having graduated from college, hey?

[goldeneagle91114]

Buzz bailed because he didn't believe in the new Big East. He was a complete fake. Higgins in ridiculous looking suits.

Blue and Mayo should have been gone long before they hit the road.

This is partially correct. Buzz DID have alot of concerns regarding the new BEAST conference and it's viability.

However, THE reason that buzz ultimately decided to leave was when Larry Williams  greatly restricted JUCO recruitment. under Larry's new rule, JUCO's could only play ball for Marquette if they had enough credits to graduate while on the team. players like Jae Crowder were no longer "accaptable" in Larry's eyes.

as you recall Buzz feasted in the JUCO market. (Fulce, Butler, Crowder, DJO, etc.). This new rule greatly impacted the teams Buzz could construct moving forward.

Plus, Larry also put all freshman basketball players in a freshman dorm, not the basketball dorm because thats how is alma mater (Notre Dame) did it. That did not sit well with recruits as well.

Do you know how he speaks or writes in a professional setting?  Because my guess is that the only evidence you are using for your judgement is this actual tweet.

Or maybe you can't. Do you think Duane's tweets are the entirety of his capabilities in the vernacular? And if that's your predisposition, do you think it might be wise to reassess your thoughts considering how you portray yourself on this public forum 99% of the time?

Simply, if you are capable of writing a coherent sentence when the need arises, what be the discriminating factor that leads you to believe Duane isn't equally capable?
