I went up with my dad to OKC to watch our games there and "the comeback" was about the most fun I've had watching any Aggie team!

Kennedy also pretty much 'killed it' with that roster
What you saw was raw talent wasted with crappy in-game coaching. His teams typically underperformed their talent level.

The continuing apologies for BK are nauseating.

He earned them.
Years of wasted talent
Years of static coaching

At least give BK credit for the win in Anaheim over Va Tech. I dont think BK is in the same coaching league as Buzz, but on that day he out coached Buzz down the stretch in that game. I was in the gym for that one and enjoyed that Aggie Basketball moment.

If a coach beats another coach he automatically out coached him? Seemed like Hogg just had one of his fluky once every ten games hit streak.

I remember Robert Williams killing them in the second half. They had no one who could athletically match up with him. But we also seemed really prepared for that game, probably having one of Buzz's ex-assistants on our bench (Chew) extra helped the scouting report.

He deserves it. He got a bunch of bench players to believe in THE TEAM.

exactly right. The value of a coach is over the long term. Short term, even Melvin Watkins' teams had nights where someone got hot and they played well. He was still clueless on the sideline and didn't "out coach" the other guy.

I feel like this guy whenever BK comes up on here and I get drawn into commenting...

Trying not to be that guy...

Well I'm totally eating crow - after the first few games, I literally expected us to go 0-fer in conference (rivaling that putrid Watkins team). Glad I was wrong...

The fact that Buzz can physically show emotion will make a huge difference in how the team is able to perform. I think that's part of the reason A&M won the last 3 games, especially the game at bama. I'm looking forward to the rest of this season and the future with how Buzz has this team playing right now.

I don't understand why some non-moderators feel the need to police what can and can't be discussed on website made for discussions.

Bob's a junior mod in training. He doesnt have the ability to delete posts yet (which eats at him) so keeps count of the number of attendance threads and polices the yell leader threads. Deep down he is still the scared little boy who ran away from texags to the Kansas message boards 15yrs ago because "aggies just dont understand".

Please, training would imply that I have some kind of mentor or guide. I'm more like a traffic cop operating without approval on private property.

Also I didn't run away, I was posting in both places, let's get the facts right at least.

Personally, I have no desire to ever talk about Kennedy again. However, it is very difficult to do when there are a certain set of posters that love to basically lie about his accomplishments, and act extremely hypocritical in regards to Buzz.

Anyone with a modicum of basketball knowledge can watch this year's team play and see there is a game plan. Even when we were losing badly you could see it, the players were just sucking. I think most people confuse winning/scoring with coaching.

Who are these posters? I don't recall seeing any drum beats on this board preferring Kennedy over Buzz. Almost the entire board seems to feel we made a great hire in Buzz Williams and that it was time for a change from the Kennedy era. Seems more like some posters are now trying to manufacture conflict, I guess out of boredom now that almost everybody likes the current coach.

I know when I've stepped in, I've only defended specifically the 2015-2016 basketball season whenever it seemed like darts were getting thrown at that particular year, which WAS a very good hoops season and notable accomplishment by all the players and staff at that time. But that doesn't mean I don't prefer Buzz (which I do) or thought the other 7 Kennedy seasons underperformed and justified his firing (which I did).

In Buzz's last sweet 16 season he loses to Duke after a beautiful inbounds play that a player unfortunately missed. In BK's last sweet 16, we lost by a hundred to Michigan.
That was one helluva play call.

We actually still control our own destiny. If the unthinkable happens and we win 3 of the next 4...especially if we win against a beatable KY squad Tuesday, thenwin a couple more regular season games and 2 SECT games.

I'm not saying it could happen...but it could happen.

Amen. And if you're a lifetime Aggies supporter it doesn't mean squat if you don't have the ag-tag. You've got to be a troll. Lol.

Hogg was actually killing it early season 2017-2018 before the multiple weed suspensions. He metrics were off the chart.

But, yeah, occasionally the Time Lord would just take over a game.

Buzz won't get the award but he sure as hell deserves it.
He's patched together a decent team from the ashes ...
