"The future of Marquette University basketball is still up in the air.WISN 12 News took the issue of Marquette's uncertainty to University of Wisconsin Athletic Director Barry Alvarez.Alvarez has spent years building the Badgers football program in Madison, and he knows a thing or two about the inner workings of coach negotiations.\"It's a very, very delicate situation,\" Alvarez said.Alvarez hired both former coach Bret Bielema and current coach Gary Andersen. Both decisions were well guarded.\"A good coach doesn't allow it to be public because if he doesn't get the job, or things aren't quite right, then he's in trouble where he is,\" Alvarez said.Looking at the ongoing Marquette search, Alvarez has some advice for the final candidate.\"In the end, you really have to look at what you really want, what's the best fit for you, what's the best for your profession, what do you want to accomplish,\" Alvarez said.Typically, any type of a move up the coaching ladder means more money, but he said if it's a primary motive, it's not good for anyone.\"I think if you're coaching for money, you're in it for the wrong reasons,\" Alvarez said. \"It's gotten so out of hand, and the number is up there, and you have to be competitive, but there are other factors -- the quality of life, the league that you're in, how competitive can you be, what's your recruiting base?\"In regards to Buzz Williams' departure from Marquette, Alvarez said it didn't faze him and that it's really no big deal."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
