Marquette Coach Buzz Williams Flirted With Death By Dancing In Front Of WVU Students After Last Night’s Win

Given that Morgantown is a place where they murder people with bows and arrows, Marquette head basketball coach Buzz Williams probably wasn't smart when he decided to dance a solo tango on the WVU court after the Golden Eagles' 61-60 win over the Mountaineers last night. (It didn't help that he was dancing in time to WVU's signature John Denver tune.)

Williams later apologized, but we don't blame him for being caught in the throes of temporary ecstasy. Marquette had nearly written the game off after suspending four players for an unspecified violation of team rules.

College basketball could use more authentic trolls in contrast to the mass of generally angry dudes that stock so much of the coaching ranks. And who doesn't love a daredevil? [ESPN]
