Or maybe he's just not interested.
Then he's a butthead.

In my research I found out that Marquette spends the second most amount of money on basketball in the country (only to Duke).
Guess that wasn't nirvana for Buzz.
Kudos to your old haunt. Advantage VT.
It may be LOVT thinking but the advantage is likely very temporary. On the other hand, the powers-that-be went way off campus to find new blood for both the presidency and the athletic director. That's a good sign for the future.

4-star juco pf Willie Atwood is a top target for Virginia Tech. Buzz Williams has already offered. http://bit.ly/1eFb9yD @VTScoop247
If there was any doubt about Buzz being a better fit at VT than Wake...
I don't think wake20 is saying we wouldn't have wanted Buzz. I think he's saying Buzz would prefer to work in a place where JuCo's won't be frowned upon.He also has offer from Ok State, Wichita State, Kansas State, Florida State, Iowa, Arkansas and Arizona State. I guess we wouldn't want Gregg Marshall either.
I know you're just being cheeky, but Marshall's relatively "robust" reliance on JuCos would kind of be a thing were he to interview for the Wake job. I don't doubt for a second that VT's AD assured Buzz that he'd be able to recruit JuCos when courting him away from Marquette.He also has offer from Ok State, Wichita State, Kansas State, Florida State, Iowa, Arkansas and Arizona State. I guess we wouldn't want Gregg Marshall either.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to wake20 again.[Buzz] Williams said Crowder and Johnson-Odom's blue-collar backgrounds are one of the main things that drew him to the players in the first place. "Most junior college players have had a one- or two-year delay in their dream," Williams said. "Anytime there's a delay in someone's dream, their hunger and their fight to accomplish that dream is heightened."
Marquette made the Sweet 16 last season largely because of the play of former junior college stars Crowder, Johnson-Odom, Jimmy Butler and Dwight Buycks. This season, other schools are hoping to emulate the Golden Eagles' success.
Just making the point that Marquette has relied on JUCO players in the past. That can't happen at Wake.
ETA: Yeah, others helped point that out.
It's idiotic that we won't take JUCOs.

Wake's position on this could have cost us a national championship and it was our own vote that screwed us.
Artis Gilmore had decided to come to Wake. He would have played with Charlie Davis and Gil McGregor.
Nah. He wouldn't have had Pembrook Burrows along side him at Wake.
