He embraces the high expectations here at Maryland and we are all excited to get started on this new era in Maryland basketball.”Williams, 52, has guided the Aggies to three consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances during his six seasons at the helm.

Pines and Colleen Sorem for this opportunity to lead one of the most prestigious programs in the country,” Williams said. “In leading this program, I promise to uphold the history of Maryland basketball and make Terp Nation proud with the men who represent this institution.”Willard, 49, guided Maryland to a 27-9 record this season before falling to top-seeded Florida in the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament.
