Maryland men's basketball coach Kevin Willard leaves for Villanova 2025-03-30

Maryland men's basketball coach Kevin Willard has left the program to become the next coach at Villanova. University of Maryland President Darryll J. Pines credited Willard and the players for a thrilling march to the Sweet 16 and said officials did what they could to retain Willard, offering a significant contract extension and salary increase, new staff, and one of the highest revenue-share budgets in the B1G Conference. However, Willard decided to accept the Villanova job, citing the program's deep tradition of excellence and a culture that is second to none in college basketball.
