I'll start dancing if it means Benford or some other good assistants join in on the fun.

From EJ just now

@EJSports4: Looks like #SMU will be announcing the hirings of Larry Brown and Buzz Peterson soon....

Do you really care where I sent this from?

NBA Coaches Alvin Gentry, Suns, and Gregg Popovich, Spurs, endorse LB:

Yes to LB and no to Peterson. That would not be a good deal for SMU.

What's wrong with Peterson?

Peterson is an average coach. Just look at hoops in the state of North Carolina. Heck, little Davidson is better than uncw. I don't see Peterson as being a man to handle Big East BB.

Go Ponies!

I live in Wilmington, NC - home of UNCW. My wife is an alum. I've seen Buzz's teams in person, and I can tell you that no one here will miss him if he leaves.

Brad Brownell had great success at UNCW, and ultimately rode that winning percentage to the HC job at Wright St and then Clemson . However, since Brad left, there has been a steady train of losing coaches at UNCW, including Bennie Moss, Brooks Lee and Buzz.

A September 2010 Blog by Andy Katz on Buzz Peterson.

Encouraging, as well as questionable points in the article. Appears UNCW has had major problems, including the recent release of 3 players and inheriting scholarship restrictions. In any case, here is a view of Buzz a year and half ago:

Hi, may name is Buzz Peterson. I'm the Diet Coke of Matt Doherty.

More like 'Coke Zero'.

Haven't we already drank the Kool Aid on coaches out of North Carolina. Dement, then Doherty. Let's give NC a rest, and look elsewhere this time.
