With the NCAA Tournament going on right now, many people are
forgetting about the coaching carousal that will become much busier in the
coming weeks. Yesterday, one of my favorite college teams, Virginia Tech, got a
huge signing when they announced Buzz
Williams would be the next head basketball coach. He is replacing James
Johnson, who struggled in his two years at the helm on Hokies’ basketball. The
deal is said to be a 7 year deal worth around 18 million. I consider Buzz to be
one of the most underrated coaches in all of college basketball. During his
time at Marquette, he went 139-65, which included an Elite Eight appearance in
2013. He spent six years there, with his only prior coaching experience being
for the New Orleans Privateers of the Sun Belt Conference during the 2006-2007
season. In the end, signing a coach of Buzz Williams’ caliber can elevate a
program in a hurry, just like what happened with the Golden Eagles of
Marquette.
