Buzz Williams announced the addition of assistant coach Christian Webster to his Virginia Tech men's basketball staff on Monday evening. The former UCF (2015-16) and Harvard (2013-15) assistant, and Crimson alumnus, is a native of Washington, D.C.

"I'm extremely excited to welcome Christian to our basketball family," Williams said in a release. "He fits exactly what we were looking to add to our program, building upon his experience of having been an outstanding player at Harvard, along with his coaching career thus far. Being from the D.C. area, he has a great familiarity with that region's basketball community, which is an important recruiting ground for us. He has an outstanding rapport with student-athletes and his character matches what we want everyone in our program to be about, on and off the floor. With the promotions of Steve Roccaforte and Jamie McNeilly to our first and second assistants' positions, Christian will be a great compliment to this staff."
