consistently and in a very tough competitive environment. All the things you say he was average/below average at might be true, but I wouldn't trade what he did to win because of any of those thingsbecause we WON. And as I said..he never intended to sustain that at VT because he never intended to BE at VT long enough to sustain his success in 5 year. Would we have been better if he had more than one Blackshear? Yep. But we didn't and we won. Would we have been better if he didn't have the "misses" you laid out? Yep. But he did have misses like every coach hasand we WON. Hindsight is 20/20. What's not hindsight is that in 5 years Buzz won at VT with a program that was dead when he got here. You focus on what he didn't do well according to your standard. I actually agree with some of your points, but there was nothing average about what Buzz accomplished as head coach of VT men's basketball. Compared to any other coach we've ever had at VT - especially in this league - he was not a "good" coachhe was an exceptional coach. Not because of what he DIDN'T do,,,but because of what he DID do. And by the way..I think he SCREWED us in the process of having one foot out the door for as long as he did..but I doubt any "good" coach would have worried more about the program he knew he was going to leave than the one he was headed to.
