If you did not turn the crank to set the Top Dead Center of the first piston while putting on the new belt, then it won't start because the timing is wrong.
On the other hand, if you did a perfect job of resetting the camshafts while putting in the new belt, but the old belt broke while the engine was running, the valvetrain may be damaged already. Depending on which engine is in your legacy, it is likely an Interference engine, meaning that when the timing belt breaks and the pistons are going up while the valves are going down, they hit each other and the valves get bent. You can do a compression leakdown test to find out if this has happened to you.

Unless you have really high milage on this vehicle the pump is not likely to go. Pump on front of engine and if it leaked would run down front and sprinkle towards center. However a weak heater hose or cooling hose clamp could give you the same results.
Before you spens a fortune ( cause this job is basically a timing belt job with a water pump, and eng seals ) Have the vehicles cooling system pressure tested for leaks. The techn will know how to check pump if he thinks its bad.
SOURCE: 1993 Subaru Legacy 2.2? Changed timing belt,
did you know how to replace timing belt it has to be installed in a specified way or it wont start
if it broke and you replaced it then the story is different as if it breaks while running usually it also bends your valves you should see a technician for this
SOURCE: when should a 2002 subaru legacy timing belt be changed?
That belt should be inspected every 30000 miles and replaced at 105000 miles.
