The bashing of Maryland men’s basketball coach Mark Turgeon and his team probably won’t end with Sunday’s snub from the National Invitation Tournament.
Those unhappy with the way the 19-13 Terps faded down the stretch for the second straight season will keep voicing their displeasure about the fact that Turgeon has five years left on his contract at $2.7 million annually — with no buyout.
Those who look at the fact that this is the first time in four years that Maryland is not playing in the NCAA tournament, with a potential top-five recruiting class on its way to College Park, will keep defending the job Turgeon has done and look toward a brighter future.
