Maryland men’s basketball hired Buzz Williams, who spent the last six years at Texas A&M, as its next head coach, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reported Tuesday.
The two sides agreed on a six-year contract, Peter Thamel of ESPN reported.
The move comes just two days after former head coach Kevin Willard officially accepted the same role at Villanova, ending a two-week-long saga that clouded the Terps’ Sweet 16 run.
During his time at Texas A&M, Williams, 52, accumulated a 120-73 record (.622) and led the Aggies to the last three NCAA Tournaments, falling in the first or second round in each.
