I think Trev got someone to create an algorithm to determine the most un-Buzz-like head coach in the country

It is and it isn't. It's not like we're super relevant nationally in basketball anyway. If it doesn't work we just try something else in a few years.

At least there's almost no way this ends up with us being mediocre.

When do you think we will "know" it worked... or did NOT work?

Fingers crossed!!!

(and thumbs up!)

Gig'em, Bucky!

Haven't seen much of the offense but from what I'm reading it sounds a lot like Mike D'Antoni.

Big meh on the hire..... definitely not a splash hire. Would guess we take a big step back and then it's a "we'll see" waiting game. Good ole Aggie sports. We will always suck in everything we do.

How do figure that? He might be a great x and o's guy who can't get good players and makes us just good enough to be mediocre. Certainly a fair chance.

Hope he's great. I think we will be much more fun to watch than the x and o's offensive wasteland we have been for the last 10 years. He's just very green and very unproven. I do think he's likable, but not sold on the speed everyone up, usually doesn't work when you don't have the players .

I don't hate it. High risk … potential high reward. Gonna need an ace recruiter or 2. If it isn't headed in the right direction. In 2-3 yrs then time to try again.

I have a feeling you will say this no matter who gets hired. Along with many others around here.

It's interesting. Could work. Better than overpaying someone mediocre from a big school after we didn't get any of the big names.

Just a terrible awful historic set back hire

Yeah but Mikey Pringles didn't care a bit about defense. Bucky does.

Yikes. Well, it'll be interesting.

A few season out of high school. Best team finished 81st on kenpom.

I just think this style is either super going to work or be an absolute disaster. And I don't mean either final four or a KenPom in the 200s, but either we're competitive with the top third of the league or nowhere near the tournament is what I'm thinking. I don't think we're going to be hovering around the bubble every year.

I'm not mad at it. It's an intriguing hire.

Surprised Alberts would take a shot at a lottery ticket at this juncture. I hope it hits!

I heard Bill Murray WANTED to name his kid "Bucky"...

The more the obvious trolls hate it the more I like it.
I resolve in 2026 to be more tolerant and respectful of trolls and emotionally fragile, overly pessimistic posters so they don’t run crying to the mods and have me banned for three days.

It is a risk, but I think A&M basketball has to take it!

Probably. Because why would anyone that is really at a level to not say taht about, decide to coach at aTm. Our only hope is to stumble onto a future coaching great.
