I personally want Buzz to stay here.

But if he goes- Bill Murray's kid sounds like a fun and interesting option - if HE would consider Texas A&M (he is an East Coast dude).

I think taking a chance on a key assistant who helped win back to back National Championships and came a three-point basket short of getting to the Elite Eight this year, a young guy who can recruit and coach would be worth the risk.

And, like many in my generation, I am a huge Bill Murray fan!

Maybe our issue is we don't have an endowed head coach, should probably take that more into consideration. Villanova is obviously doing something right.

"Endowed head coach" of men's basketball in the post link. It's always funny to me when universities have positions named after people, never seen it endowed before tho.

As an Albuquerque guy - Olen was my first choice when Pitino left for Xavier.

Would have been better if it was a Richard "Dick" endowment

By all means, criticize Buzz on the merits of his coaching, but this feels like a shot below the belt.
