The intensity that Buzz Williams brings to his work is mind boggling to me.
That said his employers and the fan base could help a great deal by understanding the effort and what that can do to a human being. I do not pretend to understand him other than knowing that all of us need down time to recharge the batteries. Without that any of us would fall apart or get sick in short order.
I think a lot of what we saw in the recent Buzz to SMU saga was basketball season fatigue. In the past four years Buzz has done nothing short of putting Marquette University on the firmest footing since Al McGuire was doing his magic act on Wisconsin Avenue. Al started it when no one was really watching. Now the Internet, 24/7 sports channels, sports radio and social networking mean Buzz had to do it with a microscope up his #%$!
Give the man some space fans and media. We owe it to him to take him at his word. He now has an established track record that even Bobby Hurley should respect.
