Buzz Williams press conference video: "They're good enough to win the national championship."

Buzz was impressed, particularly with Amari Williams and his unique ability to run the offense. He says there is no other player like him in the nation.
Good stuff from a coach I respect.

I like listening to Williams discuss and dissect basketball as well as any coach I ever heard. Maybe it's because he communicates so well. The things he says seem to be a little more thoughtful and reflective. I think he and Pope may be the smartest coaches in the SEC (I admit a bias there, of course). And by smartest I don't mean necessarily the highest basketball IQ (which may or may not be true); just in the way they seem able to process information and communicate what the key takeaways from that are. Thanks for posting SOS.

I like Williams also. When he was at VaTech he had some veterans at practice and made an awesome speech to his players about the sacrifice that those guys made for all of us to have our freedoms. He then had his players to shake all of their hands. Also, he has an assistant that calls out a certain play during free throws for guys to try to get offensive rebounds. He is very similar to Pope.

I hate Buzz during games with the constant whining and griping at officials, fouling and calling the timeout late, etc., and just the fact that he intentionally turns every game into a rock fight drives me crazy.

BUT, I agree with you, I always find him super likable and respectable in press conferences and he always gives a ton of praise our way.

Last night he called Kentucky the greatest job in college sports. I agree Buzz!

Listening to his press conference last night was really insightful.

Coach Williams is the real deal. He is my favorite member of the Aggie basketball team. Hope he stays a long, LONG time.

Dude is a great coach. He’s got a lot of energy/passion which can occasionally rub folks the wrong way, but his resume is nice.

Builds winning programs that can win a couple games in the dance.

Definitely agree with him. This team is special and hasn’t really peaked yet. If they improve defense and rebounding even slightly they are going to be hard to handle.
