Young coach IMMEDIATELY strikes success in high school, and continues it- winning multiple state champs and national coach of the year. Goes to Samford and hass immediate success. winning their first conf title in over 20 years. then repeat. Almost take down Kansas in Tourney but for a blown phantom foul.

MUCH rather be starting over with a new guy like this than with a known quality like Buzz.

He just MIGHT work out, and that makes it exciting. We are a nation that embraces the underdog.

Embrace Bucky-Ball!!

We all know that taking an older, experienced coach sometimes doesn't work. I am not sure if any experienced coaches with a winning history were available, so this might have been our best choice.

He may work out great. But let's remember that he wouldn't have been in this position had he been a loser at a lower level. Even the most spectacular high achievers in high school coaching and smaller school programs have failed just as spectacularly at this level, once they got a chance. But, hey, it's worth rolling the dice.

I believe in Bucky, there's just something about him. I think he can take us further than any coach before.

i think the point you missed is that he's almost always had winning seasons. and not taken long to build a winning program.

He has won at every stop, and without losing seasons in between winning.

i expect it to take a couple years or three, but I'm excited because he has a stellar record of being winner -
NOT like most.
