i was too young to follow al back in the day so I can not compare him to buzz, but I gotta say that Buzz is one of the most interesting people to watch on the bench that I have seen. He has not done a ton tonight, but he is just different out there. I missed the very beginning of the game, but when I turned it out a few minutes in, Buzz was sitting at the end of the bench next to Dylan. Just sitting there quiet as can be. At first I was wondering if he was simply letting the other coaches take a turn at running the squad for a bit, but I don' t think that was the case. Slowly he moves to getting further out. Jacket comes off. Starts getting more vocal.....tie comes off. Comes out in a sweater. Next thing you know he is the only one you can hear (outside of the announcers) during the game as he calls out every single screen, switch, etc. He is a character and entertaining to watch.
