The Big East is dying, he apparently had a problem with their administration, and probably just wanted a change of scenery. People have said he has wanted out of Marquette for a few years now even when they were at their peak.

Seems to me it's probably much more about the break up of the Big East. 5 straight tourney appearances - the talent doesn't just disappear... but the perception by the selection committee might.

Okay, I believe that he is a step up from coach JJ. But let me be the pessimist for a moment. What if the reason he didn't make the tourney this year is his lack of production in recruiting? He knows that the program is going to be going down hill, and he has a convenient way out by going to tech. I'm still skeptical.

Wow. Read the Greg Doyle articles on the other thread. Buzz is universally adored by his fellow coaches and communities he works in. Averages a 22-10 season. And Whit mustered a massive commitment from the administration for hoops. This is a massive home run hire.

We'll never know.

You have to chart a better path than the one that we were on, or else you stay with the one you're on.

Seems like the perfect hire.

Impacts:
Maryland (that coach is overrated, their fans are ACC fans, VT takes share)
Shaka (takes the next big time job he is offered)
UVA (yes they are killing it this year, but their style of play sucks... we will elevate over their snoooz style)
Greenburg ("VT upgrades from the Greenburg era"... okay not his quote but if he doesn't say similar, everyone will be thinking it)

Woooooooooooooooooohoooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

that's my reward for spending the afternoon washing cars instead of watching the NCAAs. Duke goes down .... AND Whit seals the deal in no time flat. Don't you believe that Buzz had to be one of, if no THE top choice given how quickly the deal was done?

Chu Cho's had a wheel of shots and a great happy hour, but it is in that cursed location. Since I've been in Blacksburg, it's been Boston Beanery, Bud Foster's, Chu Cho's and now is becoming a Five Guys location.
