 In 2007-08, Williams served as an assistant coach with the Golden Eagles in his first season at Marquette. MU concluded the year 25-10 and advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2003.
+**Legal and NCAA Issues During his Tenure**
+During his tenure at Marquette, there were a number of issues that made some members of the Marquette community uncomfortable.  Those included a one game violation and the dismissing of Scott Monarch due to Monarch lying to investigators about giving a prospect impermissible benefits. Also there was a story in the Chicago Tribune that implicated Marquette and its athletic department in a cover up of sexual assault on campus.
+**Departure for Virginia Tech**
+In March 2015, Buzz Williams decided to run away from his poorly constructed team and the legal and NCAA issues above, and took the head coaching job at Virginia Tech; a school with no basketball tradition whatsoever. Buzz never acknowledged that he was showing a lack of the kind of toughness that he preached during his coaching tenure at Marquette, leading many to believe that he was simply a fraud and an opportunist.
