Virginia Tech is locked in a tightly contested matchup in the ACC Tournament. The Hurricanes are playing to improve their chances of making the NCAA Tournament. The Hokies are playing to keep their season alive. It’s getting to crunch time. On a critical timeout, Buzz Williams got down to coaching. But he wasn’t coaching his team:

DURING A ONE-POINT GAME. DURING THE ACC TOURNAMENT.
That’s right: With the Hokies down 35-34 with 10 minutes to go, Williams spent some of his timeout trying to will on a girl competing for $500 in the thing meant to entertain the crowd while the coaches do coaching. The Hokies ended up losing, 59-49.
We’re sure Williams was already done with his timeout talk, but still, it’s pretty hilarious that Williams did this in the heat of a game. When you sign up for Buzz Williams, you get the whole package. It’s what makes him who he is.
