Lmao I guess going about .500 in conference play is what you're looking for. I'm looking for tournament appearances and success. Buzz has done neither. Hopefully he can finally get talent the way BK did and take the team far. Til then, it's just painful to watch as we're paying him $4 million a year to watch performances like we have the past week. But hey! We have a chance to go above .500! Raise and extension are in order!

That fraud BK was 19-35 his first three years. That includes b12 and sec. I'm not a buzz defender but we kept that bum around for 8 seasons. Buzz had Covid to deal with I'm sur if Kennedy had that he'd still be here screwing the school out of a check.

BK took our basketball program as far as they've ever been in the tournament, and he did it twice. Oh, and he won a conference title, something that even Bill G and Turgeon couldn't do.

Buzz is making like $4 million a year for...... this.

And BK killed all the momentum Turge and BG built... and then rebuilt through incredible recruiting/still mediocre coaching (completely embarrassed when lost in the tournament each time)..

Back to now- The bottom line is Buzz has not recruited good enough. Since he's been here he hasn't signed one mega/prized recruit. Historically, our coaches are able to nail one at least every few years. Also, coaching strategy has been questionable- to me he has strayed too far from fundamentals on defense to try to give us an edge doing stuff other teams don't do... While the offense lacks movement and good enough playmakers. He's got to pick it up.

Turge and BCG combined for 1 Sweet Sixteen and 0 conference titles.

BK had 2 and 1. Being "embarrassed" in the Sweet Sixteen is better than going 1 and done in my book.

To me, Buzz has a good system but hasn't had players to execute that system. Basically the opposite of the later BK years (poor Xs and Os with good players making up for it). Sadly his system hasn't made up for the lack of talent. I'm not saying Buzz should be fired, and I'm hoping he can land 1-2 big recruits soon. Iif he does that, we'll be just fine.

we went to the tourney every year following the miracle nit run in year 1 of bcg. Turge and bcg routinely got their heart broken IN the tourney year after year-but they put us in position to do really well.. Just repeatedly had bad luck at end of the game to teams that went far (I think all but one year.. One year Turge did lose a crap game to fsu, I think) . Bk coached horribly in 6 of 8 seasons - underperformed in all. Gtfo selling bk. Nobody wanted bk post a&m.. It wasn't just about the illness. Even tiny d1 schools said thanks but no thanks to bk. but keep selling your crap coach.

---

LOL I'm sorry that you fought and fought to pay Buzz top money and he's disappointing you. At least he's "better" than BK!

I can't believe I'm replying to an adult that types out "lmao", but I have to point out your poor reading comprehension. I was responding to your apparent praise of BK, who was overall WELL BELOW .500 in conference overall (finishing BELOW .500 5 times in 8 years) and only made the NCAA tournament twice in 8 years. Whereas Buzz made it to the tournament 8 times in 11 years prior to us hiring him and only had one year out of those 11 where he was below .500 in conference. I never said .500 was the goal, it was only used as a metric of comparison between a historically crap coach in BK and a historically highly successful coach in Buzz. If you want Buzz on the BK trajectory then I guess he gets this year and two more to make the tournament.

I can agree he isn't paid to do anything but achieve at a high level - make the tournament, like I said here: https://texags.com/forums/7/topics/3269071/replies/61388950 . I can agree I will be disappointed if he doesn't make the tournament by year 3 (still in progress). I'd have a hard time coming up with a reason why he changed in a way to prevent him from having his prior success or coming up with a reason A&M has a low ceiling holding him back, so I therefore still believe success is coming.

Calling BK names serves no purpose!

The determination of whether this staff is succeeding is at least a year away. With last year's covid situation, this is year two for BW.

Obaseki was a 5 star. He and Ashton Smith are going to be really good players. The staff did pretty well with the transfer portal last summer.

You will have more information and a better basis to evaluate whether BW and his staff have the program heading in the right direction after next season.

Ah n/m

N/m

Gig em.

Something something boot camp something something camaraderie something something.

Of course we basically rebuilt the entire roster after that year, so chances are it was just a dud roster.
