Willard met the media for the first time since becoming the head coach of the Wildcats. He talked about his exit from Maryland and much more.

“All I’m going to say is that Maryland just got a great coach in Buzz [Williams],” Willard said at the same time Williams was being introduced at a live press conference on campus. “I’m really happy for them, and I’m super excited to be in a great basketball conference here [in the Big East]. And I just think it’s time that everyone moved on.”

Scott Van Pelt is a proud Maryland graduate. So as you can imagine, he watched the recent Kevin Willard saga closely. Willard wound up leaving a lot of confusing breadcrumbs before leaving the Terrapins' basketball program to take the head coach job at Villanoa.
