Buzz Williams Story From Washington Post

 

[Hampton Roads 6]

Some reporter said in some paper Sunday that fans would get their money's worth watching Buzz coach in Greensboro, but they would "only get to see him one game".. I hope that reporter's Press Row Pass got revoked last night.

Buzz is driven. He won't rest until the Hokies are really competitive. Even then, he'll want to get better. I thought it was really interesting that Seth & Johnson had used the private jet for recruiting about 20 times total and Buzz has already used it to go on 21 recruiting trips. Like on the sidelines, he works as hard as his players. Be interesting if he coached football with Bud on the sidelines. That would be a fired up pair.

Buzz is the Real Deal, And he will get things in Blacksburg Up to a Standard that none us has ever seen before here. Whit made a great hire in his first one at VT, and I believe he will do the same for any other replacement when the Time comes. I hope his next hire is for the WBB program and Soon !

Baseball might be in worse shape than WBB. the ladies showed some life in ACC tourney and I hear there is help on the way.

You talk about the private jet as if Seth and JJ could have used it more if they wanted to. They used it as often as the athletic department's budget allowed them to. Whit opened up the checkbook for Buzz, including allowing many more private jet recruiting trips, and admitted hiring him has set the athletic budget back a little.

Weaver didn't like to pay for jet fuel any more than he did coach salaries.

I don't know all the details about the finances of the mens BB program in the past but I do feel our new AD and his first hire are great for VT.

New AD will be better than old one. Old one was only concerned with football.
