U.Md. picks Buzz Williams as next men’s basketball coach following Kevin Willard’s departure

The University of Maryland has named Buzz Williams the new head coach of its men’s basketball team, the school announced Tuesday.

Williams comes to College Park from Texas A&M, where he led the Aggies to three consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances. This year, they were knocked out by No. 5-seed Michigan in the second round.

“It is an honor and privilege to be named the head coach of the University of Maryland men’s basketball team,” Williams said in a .

“I want to thank President Pines and Colleen Sorem for this opportunity to lead one of the most prestigious programs in the country. In leading this program, I promise to uphold the history of Maryland basketball and make Terp Nation proud with the men who represent this institution.”

Williams will be officially introduced at a news conference at noon Wednesday on the main court at XFINITY Center. Prior to Texas A&M, Williams led Marquette and Virginia Tech’s men’s basketball programs.

Maryland wasted no time selecting Williams following the departure of coach Kevin Willard, who left the program to coach at Villanova, the school announced Sunday.

As a head coach, Williams has made 11 NCAA Tournament appearances and posted 13 20-win seasons in 18 years.
