	He was an assistant under Tom Crean this past season, was recruiting coordinator under Billy Gillispie at Texas A & M and he has landed 3 of the 4 incoming recruits to next year's Marquette roster. If this guy can continue to bring in the talent he did this season, I have absolutely no problem with that. I just hope his coaching matches his ability to recruit.

	Why do they call him Buzz gopack. Is it because he shaves his head or is that what he likes to catch? And where in the world did he come from? I know he was an assistant but who is he?

	I have no clue why they call him Buzz, but he is a native of Texas. He was hired last season by Marquette to specifically recruit the state of Texas and he has 3 people coming up from that state to play in the next two seasons.

	I dont think the name Buzz works well in coaching ranks today or even in yester years. Having said that, maybe Pack ,he gets his strange name from being like a "buzzard" and swooping up recruits!! For your sakes, hope thats where he got that name. If it wasnt, then prepare for Bigeast coaches to have him for dinner.

	I think Buzz played on Jordan's NC team back in the day, at UNC. Might be a good one, GL.

	That was Buzz Peterson who played at UNC and later coached at Tennessee. GoPack is hoping that Buzz Williams will be a much better head coach than Peterson was.

	I don't know much about Buzz Williams but it seems like there were better candidates out on the market. Do you think Marquette hired him so they could keep some money?

	If that question is directed at me, it is in today's Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
