Jud was very fiery, and his players loved him.
I don't think so, at least not about his demeanor. His first 2 seasons were a dropoff from Jud's level of success (NIT vs NCAA), but that was followed by SS, FF, NC in consecutive years.
I remember Jud being fiery and one game somehow the ball came to him on the sidelines and Jud being already upset bounced the ball hard on the court in front of him and it came back and hit him hard right in the face.....He was a character for sure....
I was at that game sitting in direct line where I could see Jud's face.....it was bright red for several minutes....don't know how it didn't break or at least bloody his nose....but he carried on as if nothing had happened
To me, the answer is easy. We NEED an experienced, true PG. You need someone who sees the court like a QB. Most of our guys this year saw the court like a RB. They were looking for a gap to get to the rim, rather than drawing the defense and finding someone open. The only guy who really thought like a PG was 6'10" and more often than not, needed to do the opposite.
Appreciate your detailed response. However, I will remain a BU fan and will question other fans who are not satisfied with our win loss percentages over the last 3 years.
That's one of those life lessons that sticks with ya the first time.

Anyone watch Markquis Nowell last night? Look at his size and shooting percentages at Little Rock. If we had brought him in half the people on this board would be going nuts. 5'8", pretty pedestrian shooting %'s... what you miss is those assist numbers and off the chart's toughness/fearlessness. We need a guy like that.
Do we need better shooters? Sure, but more importantly we need better shots.
Yeah, the clear takeaway from the K-State-MSU game is guard play is incredibly important. Nowell, Hoggard and Walker were trading punches all night.
It seems like people tend to forget that fact, a lot.
Luke had his yesterday and has announced he'll be back.
You could argue Kruger left Self more than Self left Weber.
Amen. Give me two or three guards who can dibble/drive and shoot and Drew Timm and it wont make any difference who is coaching we will make a deep run.
That would be a pretty tough argument to make….
2000-01 was an absurdly deep, talented roster.
No question that Lon left the program in great shape. I can think of 37 reasons why Self left it in better shape..
I mean, there’s no questioning that Self left Weber some superstars. But 37-2 was a product of those guys and Weber gelling and becoming more than the sum of their parts over two years.
I don’t know if I’d go that far. But Lon definitely did alright by Bill IMO.
The question is….is BU screaming MFer’s at them???
Sorry….Not Sorry!Self's guys did better in the dance, most important thing in the world according to some posters here LOL
Excellent. The question for us BU diehards, is what direction is his program headed. I am concerned that his program may have flatlined.
