The rumor mill had been active throughout the season and after some recent telling post-game comments by Kevin Willard, and on Monday it became officially official.
Seton Hall officially announced Willard has stepped down, and Maryland has its welcome wagon ready for its new coach.
“Growing up and coaching in the region, I have always admired Maryland basketball,” Willard said in a statement. “Being named head coach of one of the nation’s premier basketball programs is a tremendous honor. Thank you to President (Darryll)Pines and for trusting me to energize this proud program as we look to galvanize our passionate fanbase with a gritty, hard-working style of basketball.
