Williams, 41, is 139-65 in his tenure at Marquette and went to the Elite Eight in 2013 and a pair of Sweet 16’s in 2011 and 2012.
Williams replaces James Johnson — who won 22 games in two seasons after being tabbed to replace Seth Greenberg. Johnson was fired earlier in the month by new athletic director Whit Babcock.
