With the announcement of former Maryland men’s basketball coach Mark Turgeon and Maryland parting ways, the attention immediately shifts to potential coaching candidates who could replace Turgeon, although there is still a season to finish that has started in disappointment and shock.
For now, assistant coach Danny Manning will take the reins and finish the season off as the interim head coach. And while the university released an official statement saying a national search will take place after the season, the reality is that search really began when it became official Turgeon was out the door.
Maryland is a storied basketball program with a passionate fan base, a ton of history and a recruiting hotspot.
