Reaching into his back pocket after a game last week, the Marquette men's basketball coach, Brent Williams, who is known as Buzz, pulled out a thick sheaf of papers, impeccably folded and held together by two large black binder clips. Though Williams carries four bags stuffed with books, scouting materials and personal items wherever he goes, these papers stay on him when he coaches. Many of the sheets of paper contain statistics; Williams's obsession with numbers borders on fanatical. Some contain notes from recent conversations. One page contains a list of recruits, coaches and parents he is supposed to call. Another, the names of people he prays for. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
