Report: Buzz to UNC Wilmington

UNC Wilmington has hired Buzz Peterson as its new men's basketball coach, Foxsports.com is reporting.

Peterson will be introduced at a 4:30 news conference this afternoon.

Peterson has just completed one season at Appalachian State, where he led the Mountaineers to the Southern Conference tournament championship game and 23 victories. Peterson began his head coaching career at Appalachian from 1996-2000, and has since coached at Tulsa, Tennessee and Coastal Carolina, in addition to serving as director of player of personnel with the Charlotte Bobcats.

The Wilmington job had been open since Benny Moss was fired in January. The Seahawks were 9-22 last season. -- David Scott

Is this a repeat from 10 years ago?

WOW. I have really could care less about ASU or UNCW...but man this guy is about as scummy as they get. What is he going to do if Larry Brown retires and MJ wants him to coach the Bobcats?

Absolutely nuts, this guy.

Wow Buzz thanks for the loyalty to ASU.... the school who gave you your start.

Sad. Buzz was big on dedication which he obviously lacked. Do as I say, not as I do...

Strange. After this season he talked about how much he was looking forward to next year with the returning talent. Even worse, when he was hired he repeatedly stated that he was at ASU to stay. Credibility and honesty must not be among his priorities; and if he does not win at UNCW, his coaching career should be over. Too bad ASU took him at his word.
