Texas A&M's Buzz Williams has finalized a six-year deal to become the next coach at Maryland, sources told ESPN.
The move, announced Tuesday by Maryland, brings the veteran head coach from the SEC to the Big Ten and marks one of the highest-profile moves in this coaching carousel.
Williams has reached 11 NCAA tournaments over his 18 years as a head coach -- a run that includes five consecutive NCAA appearances at Marquette, three straight at Virginia Tech and each of the last three years at Texas A&M.
Williams has gone 373-228 as a college head coach, which includes one year at New Orleans in 2006-07.
