I said "I see you got a new coach" to my Maryland co-worker this morning...

She immediately rolled her eyes. First thing she mentioned was some sex abuse scandal during his time at Marquette. I was wondering if that was something new just getting out, but apparently was news for a while, but it's something Maryland fans are picking up, I guess. My brief conversation with her seemed to indicate that Maryland fans right now are pissed at the former coach leaving, and all the players hitting the portal. Her quote (paraphrased) - "All of our players are leaving. We don't have a team, and we're left with some guy named 'Buzz'". I was telling her about all the quirky "look at me things" to expect from him. She said "I had an uncle that went by 'Buzz'. He was the black sheep of the family. Guys who call themselves 'Buzz' are weird and can't be trusted." So...lol. Anyway, it's very anecdotal, and she's not necessarily an uber fan, but I got from her that the general reach from Maryland fans seems to be "meh" - but they probably need to see what players they get.

So much for Buzz always wanting to go back to Texas......**

I mean he did go back. Did he say forever?

Coach K said our Sweet 16 team under Buzz had Final Four potential.

That inbounds play was a thing of beauty.

Man that play haunts me.

Buzz had not checked out. He was focused on two things.....

Not to mention Clarkes suspension that year, they did well without him

We were a clear 2/3 with a full strength team

I get the possibility if a committee penalized a team for injuries

We had a very close loss to #3 uva, a win over #3 Duke and two O/T losses

There's an easy argument of winning the two O/T games vs FSU, plus the

Buzz will do fine there. He'll coach them into the NCAAT every year...

If he follows the pattern from VT and Texas A&M he will build up one team

Odds are extremely low that he'll be there long term...lol**
EDGEMAN 04/03/25 04:10 PM ET
Yes, but unless he becomes less wing-focused, he'll hit his ceiling again.**

If all it takes to make NCAA 70% of the time and Sweet 16s sometimes is to

And if VT did that, I'm guessing you'd want more.**

I fully expect him to hit his ceiling again at MDU...lol**
