Buzz has an uninhibited child like joy that is on display many times during games. That combined with being a consummate teacher is a rare quality. It's one that can attract intense loyalty from some and jealousy from the pretentious.

I would add Frank "Psycho" Martin to the list. Always a ticking timebomb.

I didn't know the Bleacherreport did lists.

One of my throwback favorites was Lefty Driesell and his Lefty Hex.

Post of the year. Lock the thread.

Frank Martin absolutely needs to be on that list.

That dunk by DJO against Louisville is one of my all-time favorites. Loved drilling Pitino that night.

I wonder if Bo is on there because of all the F bombs he drops on live TV??

Here is what they have to say about Bo Ryan. Despite what the guys on the Badger board say, perception is reality.


"Ironically, a coach whose teams have a reputation for boring opponents into submission is one of the most lively figures on any sideline.

Bo Ryan, Wisconsin’s master of the 45-44 win, routinely provides more fireworks from the bench than his team does with the ball in its hands.

Like many coaches on this list, the vocal Ryan has a profound interest in keeping his defense-first squad out of foul trouble—or, failing that, in making sure the opposing team suffers just as much as his.

And, with his squad tending to play so many close games—witness their three straight OT contests this season—Ryan rarely has an opportunity to relax before the final buzzer."

Do you guys know what Bleacher Report is? It is a bunch of yokels like us writing articles. Seriously, this is the author's profile.

"I'm an ex-academic scientist who's having a lot more fun trying to make a career out of sportswriting. I grew up in New Jersey, but I'm a Chicago fan first and foremost (Cubs, Bulls and Bears) because my dad grew up on the North Side."

[Goose85]

Yep, that's why I was poking fun at the lists.
