Marquette hires Williams to replace Crean

Buzz Williams coached a year at the University of New Orleans (UNO) before he spent last year as an assistant to Tom Crean. Crean had a reputation for being incapable of holding on to assistants, so it's a little ironic that we're keeping this one on a much more permanent basis - or at least the 6 year contract he signed.

Williams has forged a reputation as a recruiting star and I'm sure keeping some of the signees of the incoming class as well as McNeal, Hayward, James and Cubillan was a big deciding factor in his hiring.

Full story here.

Press conference at 2 pm.
