The internet rumors began swirling Friday morning when John Feinstein reported that Virginia Tech was making a big push to hire Buzz Williams away from the golden eagles. At the time, it was just another rumor. And then, at 2:33 p.m., EDT, Yahoo’s Pat Forde Tweeted the following:
Y! Sources: Buzz Williams poised to become next coach at Virginia Tech

Boom. Shaka. Laka.
And just like that, Virginia Tech’s basketball program had a pulse. A strong pulse. Buzz hasn’t even coached a game and already the fan base is in a tizzy. Under the circumstances, this is about the best hire you could hope for considering the Hokies have finished dead last in the ACC three years running.
