7 Buzz s Bunch Buzz s Bunch is a non-profit organization that Coach Buzz Williams created eight years ago when he was first named head coach at Marquette University. Buzz s Bunch is a way to bring together children with disabilities and help them to fall in love with the game of basketball. Since its creation, the group has evolved into so much more. Buzz s Bunch members create some unforgettable relationships and memories. Most of all, every player, coach, or staff member feels lucky to learn from these members and be touched by them. Being a Buzz s Bunch member includes an invitation to a camp over the summer, which includes spending time with the team and staff, lunch and a free t-shirt. Additionally, there is a Buzz s Bunch calendar at the beginning of the year and another event over the winter. The team tries to keep in touch with members throughout the year and the organization changes with time as new opportunities exist.

10 Head Coach Buzz Williams Buzz Williams has proven that hard work, determination and an eye for details are key aspects in building an elite-level collegiate basketball program. The head coach of the men s squad is in his fifth season in Blacksburg and has the Hokies poised to continue their growth as a program in the toughest conference in college basketball. He and his staff take a simplistic, yet very effective approach Get Better. Though his program has earned growing acclaim nationally, Williams does not focus on such external praise. He wakes up every morning with a sense of purpose to make the Hokies the best that they can be. On Jan. 29, 2017, the Hokies defeated Boston College, 85-79, to give Williams his 200th career victory. Now beginning his 12th season as a collegiate head coach, Williams has an overall record of Williams has compiled a record, now in his fifth season in Blacksburg. To cap off the season, the Hokies made a second consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance, the first time the school could claim that in more than three decades. The Hokies finished the season overall and 10-8 in the. Tech made it three consecutive 20-win season and three consecutive 10-win seasons. The Hokies took care of business in the regular season. They defeated four nationally-ranked teams for the first time in school history, including three wins against top 10 programs. The Hokies also finished 11-2 in the nonconference regular season slate. The season was their most successful season in the last decade.

The Hokies claimed three top 25 victories against foes and finished with an impressive 11-1 record in non-conference regular season action. Williams led the Hokies through many of the usual obstacles that beset college basketball programs each season. Injuries were one such obstacle, but the Hokies weathered the injuries and continued to achieve. Towards the end of the season, with just a handful of healthy bodies, Tech thrived and earned its at-large NCAA Tournament berth through its efforts. In his second season, the Hokies were one of the most improved teams in the Atlantic Coast Conference and the NCAA. Predicted, once again, to reside near the bottom of the league standings, the Hokies finished with a overall record under Williams, including a 10-8 mark in the. Tech advanced to the second round of the 2016 NIT, defeating Princeton at home in overtime before falling at BYU two days later. In his inaugural season at Virginia Tech, Williams led the Hokies to an overall record. He began building the culture that would allow the Hokies to enjoy future successes. The team went a long ways toward establishing an identity one predicated on hard work, accountability both on and off the court and playing with a tough, competitive nature. Recruiting is the lifeblood of any intercollegiate athletics program, and Williams has led the Hokies to new heights in this area. While he has been able to attract elite recruits, he is less focused on national perception and more focused on finding what he likes to call, OKGs, or our kind of guys.
