Former Seton Hall men’s basketball head coach Kevin Willard will be the next head coach of Maryland men’s basketball, the program announced Monday on Twitter.
Willard steps into the role after former Maryland men’s basketball head coach Mark Turgeon and the program parted ways in December. Former assistant coach Danny Manning who joined Maryland in April 2021 served as the interim head coach for the remainder of the season.
Across his time at Seton Hall, Willard amassed a 225-161 record with appearances in five of the last six NCAA Tournaments — it would have been six of the last seven had the 2020 NCAA Tournament not been canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic.
