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.”

Jay Bilas has been vocal about players being held to an unfair standard then coaches and Kevin Willard's situation gave him a perfect example to include.
