After six years as the Texas A&M basketball coach, Buzz Williams is trading the SEC for the Big Ten and is now Maryland's new head man. Williams led the Aggies to the NCAA Tournament the last three years, but he, nor any other Texas A&M coach, has ever led the program to an Elite Eight, let alone a Final Four. Aggies fans want someone who can get the program to break through in hoops and be known as more than just a football school. Texas A&M basketball is coming off four straight 20-win seasons, and there's never a shortage of top prospects around when you're located in the state of Texas.

Six of the last seven Texas A&M basketball coaches were plucked from mid-majors, so the Texas A&M basketball coaching search will be an expansive one not limited to coaches from big-name programs.

Top Texas A&M basketball coach candidates

One name the staff has identified as a potential target on the Texas A&M basketball coaching hot board is High Point head coach Alan Huss. He's spent just two years as a head coach at the collegiate level, but both of those seasons produced Big South regular season titles for High Point. He led the Panthers to this year's NCAA Tournament First Round after being the runner-up in the CBI Championship game in 2023-24. He's also been named Big South Coach of the Year in both seasons with the Panthers.

Prior to his first college HC job, Huss spent nine years as a college assistant, first with New Mexico (2014-17) and then at Creighton (2017-23), with the latter being his alma mater. Huss, however, did have head coaching experience prior to High Point, albeit it came at the high school level as he presided over three schools for eight years. As someone who's played for Dana Altman, and coached under Greg McDermott, Huss has learned from some of the most established coaches in the game and deservedly has piqued the interest of the Aggies. Get more Texas A&M coaching search updates at GigEm247.
