Makes me happy. The guy is shallow and a loser. He was extremely lucky to cash out at UNC-W but his flaky, crybaby demeanor is going to follow him forever. All he ever had were Jordan's coattails and now he is on his own.

Karma baby, karma. He better get on the phone to Jordan to find him a job, becouse his career as a division 1 basketball is over.

This was predictable from the afternoon of the Seahawks' loss to UNC-A early in the season. Buzz returned to Asheville to play king--and got his nose rubbed in it.

Buzz was making six times the salary of the new UNC-A coach; and more than four times what Eddie Biedenbach had made as head coach at UNC-A after almost 20 seasons. Buzz and Jan are legends in their own minds. Not so much to anyone else. And now they learn that hard lesson for themselves. Knowing them both--it's a little hard to feel sorry for them tonight.

Here's an opportunity for them to learn humility and grow as individuals.

This idiot had it made here at App. Something here clicked for him TWICE - never near as successful anywhere else and he crapped on us TWICE. Well, let's see where his wife decides he should go next. Terminated within 48 hours of his successor here being let go. Karma is a beautiful thing!

Sweeeet!

Justice.

Buzz's career as a head coach in division 1 is probably over, but he will not be unemployed for long, I predict Jordan will find, or "make up" a job for him with the Bobcats.

Had it made here except for salary and his wife "holding out on him."

[SpeedkingATL]

Never heard of him!

[MAD Doctor]

Jordan has the perfect new job for him. With the Bobcats changing to the Hornets, Buzz will make the perfect new mascot.

Meet Buzz!

[WataugaMan]

And, he's Carolina Blue as it should be.

On here, you have to make a distinction between "terminated" and non-renewal of his contract.

Facts are annoying.

Well, we shouldn't HAVE to, but it seems we do.

Not much to say about Peterson except he did it to himself.
I believe I know one A.D. who will not be considering him to fill a vacancy.

Non-renewal. Terminated. Fired. Broomed. Blown Out. Dumped. Doesn't matter, the results are the same. He is no longer a golden boy. He is a 50 year old underachiever with a mediocre record. He blew it.

just in case some of you didn't know how i feel about a certain person...

The UNC-W admin group that hired him had to borrow money to pay him. Now, the current administration is apparently going to borrow money to pay him not to coach the *next two* seasons. All that while trying to hire a new coach and staff. And they may still owe money to their "former" former coach, Benny Moss. What a train wreck. In a good sense, WDDITWAA. For those new to the ASU scene, WDDITWAA means We Don't Do IT That Way At Appalachian. It's a term from the 70s-80s that had more meaning then. But it certainly applies to this deplorable mess.
