Buzz Williams to be Maryland HC
- Thread starter BassProCat

Makes very little sense for him from a competitive standpoint, but I won’t mind getting his garbage ball out of the SEC if it’s true.
from a competitive standpoint... he still has the "name" of the ACC conference, but the conference is so much weaker, that he should be able to get plenty of wins & a higher seed for the NCAAT.
Also, don't disagree that getting one less rugby on hardwood team out of the SEC will be nice... depending on who replaces him.
Buzz is so weird….I always enjoy his long form interviews on podcast. He seems incredibly thoughtful and he is a prodigious reader and letter writer. Yet, everywhere he has ever worked he wears out his welcome after 4-5 years and then moves to take another job???
Remember, Maryland is Big 10 now.
He's a good coach, kind of weird, but always competitive. It looks like a lateral move to me, but money talks.
Looks like 8/16 players on their roster were seniors (might be part of the reason Buzz was ready to move on). Only one non-senior has stats of any note: Pharrel Payne (10.4 pts/5.1 rbs), and he's a junior. There's some very superficial analysis for you but it doesn't seem like there's much to see there. Maybe a 10th man type player at best, someone to stash for a future season.
Thank god he and his rugby style basketball are gone.
Still im surprised. A&m is one of the richest programs out there so Maryland definitely paid top dollar. Big 10 paid insane money in football and now looks to be poised for the same in basketball.

Good, will be nice to have a rebuilding program in the SEC for next year.
I know a guy with an AM belt buckle.
Is that a better job? What about all of the money at the Texas schools? Is he taking Wade Taylor IV? Taylor been around as long as Ziegler.
Buzz. Dude. I like him. But he has true wanderlust. Look at his career....has to move every few years, and not all of them were upward moves. And Texas was home!
It’s especially weird because he’s never really been losing and on the hot seat when he leaves, and there’s no substantial rumors that I’m aware of about him being a bad person behind the scenes. He just likes making lateral moves every few years for whatever reason. There’s certainly worse things you could say about someone, but it’s definitely not a typical career trajectory for a head coach.
I feel like this is just what he does. Didn't he go from Marquette to VT? VT was absolutely horrible when he took them over and definitely wasn't an upgrade over Marquette.
Roy Williams retired on April Fool's day a few years ago. That one was kind of tough to believe at the time.
Goodbye good riddance
His team always plays disgraceful basketball

Glad this TRASH is out of the SEC. He's a phony.
Hilarious aspect to this move--Maryland's AD left to be the AD at SMU. So they just hired Buzz Williams without an Athletic Director. LOL
Buzz and Terps are a perfect marriage.
Trev Alberts is the A&M AD right? If so...does he look at guys he knows like the always overrated Fred Hoiberg? Or does he actually conduct a search and get a guy who can coach?

He'll also be responsible for the TV fans of Big Ten teams to raise so much hell we get different start times-or they'll just relegate him to Peacock Games where nobody watches due to the length of the game and his stupid whiteboard antics and timeouts for 0 reason.
Buzz and Georgia Tech would be a perfect marriage.
Hopefully this move will shorten the average length of SEC basketball games by about 30 minutes lol.
I always like Buzz. Can't really see the lateral move I know A&M has money.
Probably a fairly large buyout also. I think he had 3 years left on his contract.
The Bad thing about the coaching changes these days is the portal timing.
You need to get a coach in the next week or so or you will just miss out on next years team.

BCG returning to A&M per Bill Meck. My loyalty is gonna get tested.😭
Is there a coach in the country who wants the refs to go to the monitor to review plays so he can get a free time out more than Buzz?
