Buzz, I highly respect you as a head coach, but...

[cliftonparksufan]

you annoy the crap out of me by standing on the court while the opponent is trying to run their offense right next to you. And you know what else annoys me? The refs doing absolutely nothing about it.

I like Buzz and would like him as a potential replacement for JAB but he is a strange man. He has a diary for every month of his life since he was a kid where he writes all kinds of things. Remember that one game at the dome when he was writing stuff on a piece of paper during the game when he should have been coaching

Anyone who is a basketball geek will probably like this article about Buzz.

Coaches being on the court should receive an immediate bench warning. And if it happens again, a technical.

Short of trying to get the refs attention to call timeout, there’s zero reason to ever be out there.

I remember Pitino going on the court at the Dome and directing his player to run the baseline and cut to the other corner. Ridiculous.

Agreed. It drives me absolutely nuts, and has for years.

In football coaches get flagged for being out of the box don't see why bball can't do the same.

Hmm...says a lot. As if he wasn't weird enough.

Eh did anyone watch Pastner? dude was in JB jock practically the entire game

Yes. He was way out of line with it. Don’t know why these guys started doing that.

It's like a kind of overcompensation I think. If they think it's a more effective way to communicate, that's a stretch.

And the one time JB does it, he gets ejected and it goes viral.

At least it's not a calendar. Wonder if he knows Squi or Tobin.

To be fair, I saw JB getting herded back into the box multiple times in the last two games. All coaches do it occasionally. Some coaches do it consistently. I'd say JB is much more in the occasional category.

One of my biggest pet peeves in college hoops is coaches who venture way out onto the floor, or way beyond the coach's box during the game.

Drives me nuts, too.

I say just blow the whistle for having too many on the court.

Rodney Hood also pushed off on Grant to get into "position." Jeez mad all over again!

I believe JB also used a few words that would not get past the mods on this board.

how very kavanaugh of him...

Jamie Dixon was far worse. But I agree, and I like Buzz too.

I always thought the perfect play down one with seconds to go would be to pass the ball downcourt with him in the path of the pass, therefore causing a technical and getting two and the ball. Game over.

You'd really have to have to whip it at him dodgeball style to make sure he didn't retreat in time...

Could you imagine laser striking him in the gut Pacthes O'Houlihan style then getting the T, shots and ball... and game won??

Brilliant.

buzz is a genius at defensive schemes
