First came the court storm.

Then there was an epic interview with Buzz Williams.

And finally, much jumping.

I like Buzz more and more every time he gets to answer questions. Gives credit to everyone, doesn't take any for himself (lets other people do that for him). Doesn't shy away from facts like FSU being a bad loss. Marks of good leadership and I'm so happy to have him while we do.

A decade on TKP and it's been time well spent.

Uhoh, does this mean he gets a pass??

When we have a perennial top-10 defense, and he's been here for 2 decades, he will.

Watch the video from the locker room and then tell me this team wouldn't run through a brick wall for their coach.

We are so lucky to have Buzz.

I can't say for sure that I wouldn't do it if I were a student now, but as a curmudgeon, I wanna see people put their phones away and just jump. Guess I'm glad that wasn't an option for us when I was in school.

If No. 10 falls in VA and no one in NC was there to hear it, is Buzz still in the hot seat?

Keep calm, Gobble on

Hopefully someday soon Hokie fans won't feel like knocking off #10 at home is worth a court storming.

Oh what I'm saying is that I don't ever want there to be a time when we feel a court storming beneath us. If I had my way, we'd do it for every home win. Citadel or Duke. #386 or #1.

Well I disagree with that, Clemson's tradition is one of the dumbest in college sports.

I think its cool. Don't think of it as "rushing the field" but more as "have your son get a picture with his favorite player". In that sense it is a good tradition.

It looked to me like Five waived the students out to the court as he was dribbling out the last seconds of the clock. Someone roll the tape!

Plan for the worst and hope for the best, not the other way around.

It was like the Buzz of Christmas past last night. Where has this Buzz been all season?

They are going to have to break out the acc wheel of destiny in roundball soon, no one wants to be the best this year

I can imagine no more rewarding a career. And any man who may be asked in this century what he did to make his life worthwhile, I think can respond with a good deal of pride and satisfaction:
“I served in the United States Navy"

I don't understand why you want to record a video while you are jumping up and down, watching said video would make you want to puke. PUT THE PHONES AWAY AND ENJOY THE MOMENT!!!

People are going to have to start hating post-millennials soon. The incoming freshman class was born around 99-00.

Never on the hot seat for Buzz. Every team will have a few bad games. Buzz is moving the program in the right direction. Great coach, obviously respected and liked by his players. Recruiting has been solid. More kids like Alexander-Walker will keep coming to play at VT. Nice work Buzz. Keep being Buzz.
