Just days after the University of Maryland lost to Florida in the NCAA tournament, Villanova University announced Terrapins' head coach Kevin Willard is set to lead the school's men's basketball team.
Kevin Willard was a Big East head coach for Seton Hall from 2010 to 2022. He's been Maryland's head coach for three seasons.
After Villanova announced Sunday it hired former Terrapins head coach Kevin Willard to take over its own program, both Steve Blake and Greivis Vásquez took to social media and commented on the new Maryland vacancy:
Willard emphasized when the Terps were in Seattle that he loved coaching at Maryland, but he wanted the school to improve in NIL.
Maryland administrators have told at least one prominent booster that men’s basketball coach Kevin Willard plans to leave for Villanova.
Aston Villa striker Marcus Rashford scored twice in a 3-0 defeat of second-tier Preston North End in their FA Cup quarter-final at Deepdale on Sunday to earn a Wembley semi-final against fellow Premier League team Crystal Palace.
