He also mentioned instability at the administration level, though that may have been from his mouthpiece. Yet, we got rid of the President and AD, in some ways, to accommodate him, thereby creating the instability.

President's removal had nothing to do with Buzz.

Whatever role Buzz had in the ousting of Larry Williams and especially Pilarz should be his longest lasting contribution to Marquette. Marquette's presidents have historically been either awesome (Raynor, Wild) or awful (DiIluio, Pilarz), and thankfully it looks like Dr. Lovell is the pendulum swing back to awesome.

Pilarz was a train wreck unrelated to Buzz. Lucky he left when he did.
Alpha - I know this has been discussed a bunch and everyone here continues to say how he trashed Marquette and the Big East by saying this and saying that but I have yet to see exact quotes of what he said that was so bad. Not saying he did or didn't say things, it just seems every time this comes up people say "I believe he said something like...."
So I guess my question is, can someone tell me (similar to Buzz's question to you) what exactly did he say that was bashing of Marquette?
I think Buzz mentioned the conference when he was on the set of CBS the first weekend of NCAA tourney.
On a day like today, I think it's best to just tweet thank you to Buzz Williams...and attach a picture of 247s top four recruiting classes for 2015.
I've said before that Buzz prides himself on being honest, and perhaps he would help himself by being a little less so. He is right about many of those things. No one can argue that the ACC is not the strongest basketball conference today, or that the Big East is not what it once was. It is clear that Buzz had some problems with his superiors that IWB has detailed a bit. They were not the guys who hired him, or the ones he referred to when he said "I'll be here as long as they want me." I personally was not offended when Buzz left. Sorry it did not work out. Thanks for your hard work. Now, bring on the new guy. When Crean left for Ix4, several people suggested that both schools got what they wanted. That is about right. I think it is right again. So good luck to Buzz and I'll pay attention to how his team does sometimes. I will pay a lot more attention to Marquette. Judging by today, I think we are doing pretty well.
