With Kevin Willard leaving Maryland to become the next men’s basketball coach at Villanova, the Terrapins have embarked on a search to fill the vacancy that opened only days after the end of a resurgent season in which they reached the NCAA tournament’s Sweet 16 for the first time in nine years.
Maryland is seeking its fourth coach in five seasons after Willard replaced Mark Turgeon, who stepped down eight games into 2021-22. Then-assistant Danny Manning took over for Turgeon on an interim basis for the remainder of that season before then-Maryland athletic director Damon Evans hired Willard.
