Men’s basketball coach Mark Turgeon and Maryland have mutually agreed to part ways, according to a news release from the university.
Mark Turgeon was in the middle of his 11th season as the head coach of the program. This year’s Maryland team had high expectations coming into the year and after a rough 5-3 start, criticism only became louder for the veteran head coach.
Towards the end of his last game, a loss in the Big Ten/ACC Challenge against Virginia Tech, “fire Turgeon” chants were heard in the stadium and he was heckled as he walked off the floor for the last time.
