Maryland hired Buzz Williams as its men's basketball coach Tuesday, quickly moving on after Kevin Willard left the Terrapins to take the Villanova job.
“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 statement. “I promise to uphold the history of Maryland basketball and make Terp Nation proud with the men who represent this institution.”
Maryland said it would introduce Williams at a news conference Wednesday. Willard left for Villanova last weekend after leading the Terrapins to the Sweet 16.
Williams arrives after six seasons at Texas A&M.
