+ | === Transfer === | ||
+ | Scott was unhappy and considered transferring while [[Tom Crean]] | ||
+ | |||
+ | With every team, different coaches assume different roles. Buzz assumed the role of the guy that rode them hard, and Buckley took the father figure role. Buzz rode them hard, and Scott didn't take that kind of coaching well. Scott was 50-50 on leaving before Crean left. | ||
+ | |||
+ | When Crean left he waited to see who the new coach was. When Buzz was hired, they immediately call a team meeting, and Buzz went in and told the team himself that he was their new coach. He explained how he would run things, how the team would play. Scott knew the up and down style Buzz wanted did not favor him. When the meeting ended, Scott stayed behind and asked Buzz if they could talk. He told Buzz he wanted a release. Buzz asked him to think about it for a couple of days but Scott had made his mind up, so that was it, but they wanted to keep it quiet until after the banquet. | ||
+ | Scott already knew what schools he was going to consider, even before Buzz was hired. His longtime high school girlfriend was a student at Iowa. She was considering a transfer to [[Iowa State]] due to her major. He selected Iowa State and she transferred to ISU. | ||
