The new deal would quiet immediate questions about the 56-year-old’s future with the school after athletic director Damon Evans was noncommittal on an extension when asked at various parts of the 2020-21 season — Turgeon’s contract was set to end after the 2022-23 season.
It would be the second extension for Turgeon since he originally signed an eight-year deal with the school in 2011 to succeed Hall of Fame coach Gary Williams. In 2016, then-athletic director Kevin Anderson rewarded Turgeon, who had just taken the Terps to their first Sweet 16 appearance since 2003, with a four-year extension.
