Stupid is a strong word, but I don't think Buzz coached a good game tonight


He seems oddly clinical and detached in these early season games. I just don't think he values the nonconf portion of the schedule and it shows. He is too wedded to the idea that doing well in the ACC is all that matters. That may have been true decades ago, but college hoops has changed. Too many good "mid major" programs are waiting to take bids away from "power 5" teams that are middle of the pack in their "power" league but average-at-best in their RPI.

Specifically, in this game, Buzz sat on his timeouts way too much, totally allowed a smaller, less deep team to dictate a slower tempo, and basically failed to light a fire under a team that was clearly not ready to play. Sometimes I wish Buzz would go a little more "Bobby Knight" when the team plays like this.
