He's a god damn fantastic professional basketball coach (meaning, he's a pro, for-hire, and extremely good at what he does) and that profession extends beyond the lines on the court or the TV cameras or the practice gym.

He's a business. He's a brand. He's everything you'd want out of a modern professional college basketball coach.

He cares about his kids .. if he left, he'd still care about them, and he'd care about the new ones, too!

But he's not mother theresa he is not living his life in sacrifice to the youth of tomorrow ... he is not going to "fall in love with the area" and make all kinds of personal sacrifices to uphold some kind of loyalty to players or administration or fans that would turn on him in a HEART BEAT if something went wrong. and he shouldn't! .... there is a middle ground, and it's called reality, and that reality involves buzz being a ridiculously top notch professional at what he does, which includes navigating these "professional" job/candidate situations with a LOT of tact. Which he did. Hell, it's like it never happened! Like I said, a PROFESSIONAL. A GOOD ONE.

I'm glad to have him. Ecstatic. But the reason why I'm even more excited is because I'm not settling in for 10 years of this. Not saying that can't happen but, from what I've heard, I believe there WAS likely a deal in place, in princple, perhaps on a handshake, something along those lines, with Buzz and TCU - a poster even came on here and "broke" the news ... and his source was "wrong" ... what happened was ... well nothing is final until it's final.

All signs point to the idea that TCU had offered Jamie Dixon the job several times before, he'd always turned it down, and this time he kind of surprised everyone by accepting it. TCU had to backtrack on the talks with Buzz. And per reputable sources, in those talks, Buzz was the aggressor, Buzz was courting them, not the other way around. Also, the concept of "going back to texas(oklahoma)" was and is an extremely significant part of it. Sounds like going forward, lateral-ish moves in that region will be a threat, but outside of that region it would have to be a severe upgrade. Which I can live with. That's freaking fair enough! I don't expect this guy to be a slave to VT!

That's all. It's not a fairy tale. It's bigtime college basketball. We got buzz, but more importantly, we've got Whit, and where we are right now, if Buzz wanted out, I am confident that Whit would hit another home run and not lose ALL of our momentum like we did when Greenberg left.
