The University of New Orleans, in the midst of a major rebuilding campaign on campus and with its public image after Hurricane Katrina, will name Texas A&M assistant Buzz Williams to replace Monte Towe, multiple sources told ESPN.com on Friday.
Towe left UNO to become the associate head coach at North Carolina State, under new Wolfpack coach Sidney Lowe.
For Towe, the point guard on N.C. State's 1974 national championship team who later recruited Lowe, the point guard on the Wolfpack's 1983 title team, the decision was not an easy one.
"I love New Orleans, I love my team and I love going to work every day," Towe said. "But I also love N.C. State."
