I’d take Buzz Williams over Woodson in a heartbeat
Buzz Williams

I would go after him. They play good defense and run a nice offense … comparing how IU plays to them is a joke. A&M plays really hard all the time.
He hasn't done anything noteworthy. His last sweet 16 was 2018/2019. Why is he such a good choice? He's been to the elite 8 once. Crean has a similar coaching career with the same number of sweet 16s and a final four.
I’d take fully 90% of all D1 coaches over fraudulent Woody
Yea, better than Woody is a low bar. Maybe the lowest of bars.
I'm sorry but Buzz is no chump at coaching. He's established success in season and postseason at Marquette, Blacksburg and A&M. Top developer of talent because the 2nd tier programs he's coached don't often attract top tier talent. He's put many in the league. I'd welcome him to Bloomington knowing full well the results he'd garner with the talent IU can reap. Problem is he is a Texas boy and is probably rooted deep into making College Station a BB power. His leadership is his leading positive with an attitude to be most supportive in his community. Take him in a heartbeat.
Taking a quick moment to admit I was wrong before the season started about UConn and UNC having worse records this year than IU. Much of that was based on our roster construction leading me to be presumptive in terms of our style of play. I still believe we have more talent than both squads however.
Buzz is in the Crean zone. With what we've had Buzz would be refreshing. However, I think we have two categories and a name at the top of both. Cris Beard and Ben McCollum.
That was a ridiculous prediction based on conference affiliation alone. UNC will probably have a much better record than UK.
