Bob Hoffman(Mercer coach) to MU!!!!
If there is anything positive from this....Burton, Duane and Luke Fischer are Milwaukee guys and may still stay.
Does MU need to consider someone who considers the state of Wisconsin home? Shaka Smart? Annoying having to deal with this when we have had so much success.
Something must have happened to piss Buzz off again. Virginia Tech is not the same as leaving for blueblood Indiana. This tells me he just had to get out, but why?
Another reason to build a posh living residence for men's basketball/athletics. MU needs every single possible asset to keep coaches here and top-level recruits interested.
The conference. Period. I know i keep repeating myself, but I promise you that had A LOT to do with it. A LOT. Sure he went to the worst team in the ACC, but he's going to the best basketball conference in the country, where he once was. I will bet dimes to dollars that, more than anything else is what did it.
Throw college football coaches in there and I agree.
If it was the criticism that he got this year that made him leave, that would be really piss poor. Deal with it. The MU community heaped almost unprecedented praise upon him until he hit a speed bump this year and almost all were universally still happy as could be to have him.
Not to paint too broad a brush, but college coaches are the biggest freakin' divas.
