I like Buzz, but this... this was too much and


It sounds like he want a purely mathematical data-driven formula. Ok... what happens next year when that same formula, which I have to assume helps his case this year, shows his 9 conference wins aren't enough next year?

Oh, and this transparent mathematical formula that will fix this broken system... who created it? What committee selected it? What was their upbringing, where'd they get their math degree, how did they get elected to that committee?? I want answers!!! Not to mention all those on the other side that will complain that their team didn't get in even though they pass the "eye" test.

Dude's frustrated, wrote what amounts to an email that he shouldn't have hit send but he hit send. Most of fans and media will forget it a year from now but the committee won't and so it hurts him in the long run. Seriously, if the system is so broken for you, just quit. No one is forcing you to coach and make millions of dollars.

Because the system is not broken. It's the best tournament in sports. We are talking about the method of selecting the last of 68 teams. When you are a bubble team, you might not get in. You can win your way in through your conference tournament. That's why they call it a bubble. Jay Bilas says every year, every bubble team has flaws. Buzz, your team fought hard but came up one win short. We always discuss snubs right after the bracket comes out, but come Thursday that stops and we talk about the teams that actually have a shot to win the thing.

Also, honest question, would Buzz's players rather win the NIT or lose in Dayton?
