Buzz Williams to Va. Tech per ESPN

[2-3zone]

Shocked!!!

 

[capeorange]

I thought we were finished with him when we left the Big East...ugh

 

[jordoo]

BE jobs are no longer good

 

[Jasoncuse]

UGH, can't stand his in-game antics. He makes Jamie Dixon look stationary and in the coach's box.

Great move by VT, though. Can't really argue against them making that move to upgrade. BZ will be his clutch and grab juco's and underrated recruits to the ACC and have some success, I'd imagine. I hate that we'll see him, though it should only be once a year.

Mid-major without a doubt. The league is probably at or even below the A-10. Sad that those two leagues have the NYC venues for the next few years.

 

[RenoHeel]

Surprised but a good move by the Hokies.

7 year contract

 

['72 Orange]

Time to break out the Curley Shuffle!

 

[Trueblue25]

Wow.

Poor Marquette.

I never wanted to play this guy again.

[djcon57]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Wanted to get away from this guy.

Names to keep an eye on for Marquette: Ben Howland, Mike Hopkins, Brian Wardle.

Great hire by the Hokies, Buzz will be a factor as always and will turn that program around quickly. Conference success is directly tied to head coaches.

He has a lot of work to do there

 

[Quazzum69]

Nice. He's a strange little man but he'll make the ACC better by providing some depth.

 

[44PRIDE]

Hop's name is going to be thrown around for every mid/upper level job that is out there.

 

[jdubs30]

He's annoying, but the dude can coach and this will definitely help the ACC.

 

[CousCuse]

More Big Eastification of the ACC , for the better. BC would have seemed a more natural spot , wonder who they're leaning toward.

 

[Toga]

Still can't believe he got out of Morgantown alive. D-Bagger.

 

[Delmar]

It tells you that the Big East is a mid major, at least it is to Buzz Williams. And, Blacksburg is prettier than Milwaukee.

 

[Moontan]

I just don't care for him. The dislike may be stronger than that for Dixon. They need to start T-ing up coaches on the court.

 

[Full_Rebar]

Great hire by VT. I don't like his antics or style, but grabbing him quickly gives them a leg up on BC and Wake.

Hop isn't going to Marquette. Howland would make a lot of sense for them to grab.

Allow me to throw a Marquette name out there. How about Ben Howland? They have money and need a splash.

 

[Louie&Bouie]

That is a great hire by V-Tech. Recruits solid 4-year system kids, and is a fantastic coach. Good for them, good for the league.
