Yes way. Who ended up better? We gave him a sweetheart deal that enabled
him to leave whenever he wanted to which he did as soon as A) his stock was at its highest and B) it looked like we were going to face a rebuilding year (that was mainly his own doing). He recruited one team, coached them up, and leveraged that into the job he REALLY wanted which was something back home. Meanwhile we got 3 NCAA bids, 1 Sweet 16, and a complete and total rebuild after he left. I'm not saying Buzz didn't do anything for us. I'm not blaming him for leaving. I'm saying the idea that he was some sort of savior of VT basketball is misguided. He did what he needed to do to get a better job and we provided the funding and resources for him to do that.
