Buzz Williams

James, I want you to think about how happy you would be if someone said this about you.

Buzz Williams is coaching a guy named DJ Wagner.

He played at Kentucky, played at Arkansas.

He is now playing for Maryland.

Here is what Buzz Williams said about DJ Wagner.

He's the most beautiful human being I've ever seen that's as fast as he is.

I have a hard time coaching him because I wish my heart was more like his.

I don't I don't want that pressure either for you to think I'm walking on water or whatever.

This is a little bit, Tony, apples and oranges because that was an exhibition game, but it was against what I think will be a very good Maryland team.

Buzz Williams in year two generally gets his stuff figured out, and he did.

That was a big physical good team.

But if you do a little comparison, Tony – You have often been fond of the stat that if you produce and score as a baby, especially in basketball, and I think your number was three or four points per game, believe it or not, three or four points per game, if you average that, you're going to end up being a really good college player.

He believes the game begins when the shot goes up.

And this was a great opponent because you knew you were going to get an elite offensive rebounding team.

So Buzz Williams teams do.

Payne is one of the best in the country at offensive rebounding.

I think you've got two teams that feel really good about themselves, and Maryland's already out of the gate.

They've played one exhibition, so I would expect them to be a tad ahead of where West Virginia may be when they go in there, but heck of a first test for West Virginia against a Buzz Williams team that feels now like a Buzz Williams team.

Last year was not a Buzz Williams team.

I think he's got it back.

He's got physical athletes.

I mean, he's been playing college basketball for I'm pretty sure more than five years, but-

He's, he's just been following Buzz Williams around, I think.

Yeah.

No, and he's a man's man.

Um, but yeah, he'll be, he'll be worth monitoring.

Diva says, uh, "Buzz Williams.

Let me see something this year." Buzz, this is, this is what Buzz does.

Buzz comes to a place, he stinks for a year, and then they win a little bit, and then he leaves.

...

Buzz Will- Yeah, Larry Nagin, Buzz Williams, Leonard Hamilton, Jamie Dixon.

I mean, it's just, it was, it was, you know-
