Buzz Williams – Virginia Tech Exchange Point Pin by Wes Kosel

Here is a halfcourt set play from Virginia Tech Hokies Head Coach Buzz Williams. Williams, a Texas native, went to school at Navarro College in Corsicana, Texas before finishing his bachelor’s degree at Oklahoma City University. Williams would watch practices at Navarro and became the manager. When he went to Oklahoma City, an NAIA powerhouse, he was a manager and gained valuable experience working for both programs. He then made his next jump to UT-Arlington as the third assistant and eventually worked as third assistant, director of operations, and video coordinator all combined for the Mavericks. From UTA, Buzz went on to be the top assistant at Texas A&M Kingsville in south-central Texas. Later on, Buzz was hired by Billy Gillispie at Texas A&M. In his head coaching career, Williams has had 6 seasons with 20+ wins and only two losing seasons. His first at New Orleans in 2006-2007 and his second was in his first year at Virginia Tech when the Hokies went 11-22.

2 and 3 cut across the floor exchanging sides, and as this is happening 4 screens down for 5 diagonally across the lane. 5 flashes to the right high post area and 4 flashes to the left elbow. 1 passes to 5 and then cuts around 5 to the right wing. As this action is occuring, 4 screens down for 2 who cut down to the block. 5 looks to pass to 2 for a shot as he is cutting up the lane line. This play flows very well into a weak side two-man action as well with 4 stepping out to set a ball screen for 2 if nothing is there on the down screen action.
