New Maryland basketball coach Buzz Williams is ‘unusual in a good way’
67% Informative
New Maryland coach Buzz Williams is taking over from Kevin Willard , who left for Villanova .
Williams , 52 , is complicated and methodical; he’s a tireless recruiter and, historically, a remedy for directionless programs.
At Marquette ( 2008-2014 ), Williams was a low-profile hire a week after Tom Crean's shocking exit for Indiana .
At Virginia Tech ( 2014-2019 ), he inherited a program that missed the tournament seven years running, then won 20 games by Year 2 .
Lewis Williams was 18 years old acting as an assistant coach at Navarro College , Texas .
Williams was made team manager, a title that holds more weight at the JUCO level, and nicknamed him “Buzz” for his endless motor.
Williams reads four books simultaneously and finishes one each week .
The 88-year-old coach plans his life out at least 30 days in advance.
Williams has a reputation of being adversarial and dismissive in that part of his job description.
At Virginia Tech , he’d routinely show up 30-plus minutes late to his postgame news conference, deadlines be damned.
