What the hell I love Buzz Williams now

Think it’s pretty well know he was dropping bags to get all those top 100 recruits to Blacksburg but that’s legal now.

I want the Buzz Williams in a hot tub with Andrew Rhode clip NOW (I realized LRA wasn’t even a thing really during the Buzz Williams Hokies Tenure. That woulda been fun)

Hopefully its Citrus IYKYK

What on earth. Run and point Rohde. Run and point!

Hooandtrue · January 9, 2025, 4:48pm

(correction it was an ice bath)

OrangeHoo12 · January 9, 2025, 4:52pm

My stance on Buzz: if TB has absolutely no use for you, I’m out.

Hooandtrue · January 9, 2025, 4:55pm

To be fair aren’t Tony and Buzz like actually really good friends? Even if personality wise different

KarlHess · January 9, 2025, 4:56pm

Buzz would be the only option worse than Bobby Hurley.

Given the other options likely available to us we’d be moronic not to take Buzz

Great day to be a Bulldog - those two came a few years after Youngkin. NA won their only two state championships around their respective times.

Buzz Williams
Jerrod Calhoun

I’m going to think about this for a few minutes. Actually undecided in the moment.

Maybe having a JFK Nixon debate moment. Calhoun really is the oldest 42 year old to ever live.

Voted for Buzz - players love him and he is a great coach. My worry isn’t character - it’s more…how long would he stay

NorVaHoo · January 9, 2025, 5:38pm

Youngkin, Clark, Owens, Liles, Fraim… They were beating public schools back when private schools didn’t do that. But they ran into the Oak Hill buzzsaw in December ‘84 that had Rod Strickland (DePaul) and Mike Jones (Auburn).

Really this is a convo we shouldn’t be having. It’s all in good fun but eventually it’s gonna end up on TSL with a bunch of cowpokes somehow getting validation from uva. Again.

Hooandtrue · January 9, 2025, 5:38pm

Went with Buzz. I’m a sucker for the energetic types. Think he is someone who could revitalize a program that needs revitalizing and hit the local recruiting HARD with Paul Tudor’s bags and whatnot

Hooandtrue · January 9, 2025, 5:39pm

I really doubt Hokie fans are even aware basketball season is happening. Maybe like 5 of them who are lost in Cassell Collesium since they cant see where the exits are.

UVAdrian · January 9, 2025, 5:40pm

Both of these dudes look like they’re at least 10 years older than they actually are.

sdhoo99 · January 9, 2025, 5:43pm

I want this guy… NBA greats think this D-II coach is a basketball genius. So why don’t you know who he is? - The Athletic

NorVaHoo · January 9, 2025, 5:47pm

There’s the celebrated 2016 season with a second round NIT loss…

Hooandtrue · January 9, 2025, 5:50pm

You forget that Buzz Williams was a young spry 43 year old at the time. Basically a baby still learning about the world and what works best.
