Buzz Williams being honored

Buzz Williams being honored as a distinguished alumnus at Oklahoma City University

Congrats Buzz!

Same day as the scrimmage vs. George Mason.

Yep, he can't go, but nice that they are still doing it

It's ironic that Buzz went to Oklahoma City University. The best known basketball figure in school history up to this point was Coach Abe Lemons. An outstanding coach who went on to Texas Pan American and Texas. Buzz reminds me a lot of Abe. http://thinkexist.com/quotes/abe_lemons/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abe_Lemons

Oh really? I assumed he would go and let the assistant's handle the scrimmage.

In Buzz' time there he actually shared an office with Coach Lemons and helped him through his early stages of Parkinson's disease which eventually caused his death 12 years later.
