Interesting nugget from Buzz in his postgame presser


Paraphrased (from about 4:38): "What we've done speaks to the character of the players' parents, it speaks to the work ethic of the staff, it speaks to all the staff members and players who have been in the program from the start. We win not because of one person or reason but because everyone pulls in the same direction, because of the support we get from the administration and the community. These are all big pieces to the puzzle. I didn't plan to win the first NCAA tournament game 5 years after arriving, but (here's the important part) I'm attracted to people of the same ilk and they're attracted to me." If I decipher this correctly, he's saying that he's been able to build a OKG culture at Tech because it has been acceptable for him to do that there. His culture is becoming Hokie culture and vice versa. This is what matters to him. He's adding a new wing to the house that Beamer built.

It doesn't sound to me like the kind of thing someone would say who was getting ready to pull up stakes for another go somewhere else. Especially because he has repeatedly said that the money is not the most important thing. We'll see.
