Why cant he just keep winning at Butler? He has a winner, but why leave a winner to try and make another school do what you are already doing?
What its really time for is to be realistic. Brad Stevens to OU is not realistic. He has absolutely no reason to leave Butler for OU. He is in practically the same situation as Mark Few. Sure, its a small school, but they are now big time basketball programs. He has a better chance at a championship with Butler than he does at Oklahoma.
I mean, the fans are just roaming around pointing at coaches who are winning NCAA Tournament games and saying "I WANT HIM!", but those coaches are advancing through the NCAA Tournament with winners they put on the floor. Again, why should they leave?
OU is not an elite job, so if you are already winning its a step down right now. OU is a very good job, but they will either hire someone with connections to this part of the country or who works at a crappier school.
Butler, Florida, Marquette, etc are not crappier schools. These guys have BIG TIME jobs and are playing on the national stage. Sure, OU is used to that, but these guys are ALREADY there.
UCO, North Texas, Wichita State, Missouri State, etc are crappier schools that have good coaches and are in the area. These guys win with lesser talent, they recruit the area, and they could win at OU.
I could be totally wrong, and I think Buzz is a realistic "big time" candidate because of his connections to Oklahoma and this part of the country, but Buzz is about as "big time" as OU is going to get.
