Texas A&M has hired Buzz Williams to be its next men's basketball coach.

1. He's a native Texan
Born in Greenville, Williams grew up in the small town of Van Alstyne. Certainly the allure of returning to his home state had to be a factor in Williams' move to A&M. On Wednesday, A&M baseball coach Rob Childress said he hadn't met Williams before, but he would have to talk about Van Alstyne knocking out his high school in the playoffs during his senior year.
