How many of ya'll are blocked by Buzz on X?

---

I don't follow his personal account, so he doesn't know who I am. Plus I never tweet myself. I just saw MarkAg tweet he got blocked today. That dude is bigger Buzz guy than me and is not a negative tweeter. Talk about alienating your fanbase

---

What'd he say?

---

This was a fun team to root for. Good guys that played hard. Hate this for them. Ended earlier than they would have liked and earlier than the Aggies would have liked. That's what makes March Madness great and tragic. You get the high of moving on or career can end on any night.

I'm pretty well know as being a very big pro Buzz Williams guy. One of the biggest honestly. Which made finding out today he blocked me on Twitter strangely odd. pic.twitter.com/NJ3lSrCd9l

It's Buzz. He loves to hear himself talk. Wants everyone to know he's an intellectual. And to be fair, the guy has a **** ton of great wisdom... But he wants to make sure you know that. You can almost see the gears turning in his head when they get the 30 second clip heading into halftime on what the team needs to better... "what can I say that sounds really deep and is not at all an actual answer ".

---

I think there's much more to his thought process and answers and there's some major over compensation for how he processes information. This often comes back out as a bizzare answer that most don't think is important outside of his own mind.

But then Hayden Hefner who never really showed any inkling of being an above-average producer gets 5 years here and averages double-digit minutes.

Too many posters just insist on tip-toeing it around it because it's being critical of a player... But man at some point you gotta call a spade a spade - the career minutes he logged is proof positive that Buzz chose this offensive bed to sleep in.

Did he think Hefner was a better player than Flagg? I doubt it.

But if he thought Hefner gave our program a better chance of winning then I'd question his evaluation skills -- and our historically bad shooting % does as well.

I think the word for it is pretentious.

Mind you, pretentious with an enormous heart, loyal and strive to improve.

But still pretentious.

You've got him pegged all wrong.

Buzz is definitely pretentious and eccentric. And I don't mean those as put downs or slander...it's just who he is. He has a quirky personality, but that's OK. So he's not exactly like every other college basketball coach personality-wise. Who cares?

At the end of the day I don't believe he is worth the money. He underperforms based on compensation of his peers.

---

Hes pretty much on par with his salary. He's 17th nationally and 7th in SEC pay. That comes out to… a second round exit and top 7 SEC finish

Not arguing we shouldn't expect more, just don't understand this precedent that we pay him like an elite coach

Wow imagine if buzz got paid $5,000 more and was then catapulted into the top 16. Then how would you be able to justify no sweet 16 appearances in 6 years?

It's not that black and white. Does he care about his players and staff first, yes. Does he not care about the university that he is coaching for, no. It's not that simple. I do think there is a priority to him. He does not like the dealing with the alumni and all the pomp and access they want. But he is not antagonistic like Turgeon about all of that.

Basketball coaches are a weird bunch, btw...

However it's absolutely true over his tenure that his salary has not matched his results.

It's easy to point out "well the last 3 years it's been on par with results" (even though that's a bit of stretch based on the data I just provided) -- but that completely ignores the 3 years prior.

He's been an underwhelming hire for the $$$. I don't think anyone can argue against that.

im not justifying anything. I said as such

It's just this myth that we pay him an elite salary. Because we don't

this is misleading though. when he was extended after the 2022-23 season, he was still top 10....and top 10 when he was hired. I think it was actually top 8 at the time.

I don't know that we have all the data we need to absolutely say for sure because we need to account for the staff salaries.

I don't know what we're paying all of these guys but it's not like we have a who's who of assistant coaches sitting over there. So maybe we're paying Buzz more but the whole staff less than other schools?

---

I absolutely assume there's guys on our staff that Buzz met at the Texaco next to Tamolly's in Greenville who told him "You know what they say: It takes a bushel of corn to feed a chicken" and he hired.

Coming off a historic season, where the Aggies were ranked in the top 25 all year, and all anyone cares about is whether one more game can be won in the tourney with a 4 seed beating a 5 seed. Got to love message boards.

For now. In a few years we'll all remember this season a lot more fondly than it feels right now.
