Maryland came into the season with a preseason top 25 ranking. The Terps were ranked No. 21 in the preseason AP basketball poll. But after a slow start to the season, Maryland and head coach Mark Turgeon are parting ways, according to CBS Sports’ Jon Rothstein. Additionally, Rothstein reports that Danny Manning will take over as Maryland’s interim head coach.
Turgeon began his coaching career as an assistant under his former head coach Larry Brown at Kansas in 1988. That team won the NCAA Tournament in 1988, and Danny Manning won National Player of the Year.
