This is a Maryland Minute, a short story followed by a roundup of Terps’ related news.
No. 11 Maryland men’s basketball head coach Kevin Willard was named the National Association of Basketball Coaches East District Co-Coach of the Year, it was announced Tuesday. This marks the seventh coach of the year honor in his career.
Willard led the Terps to their second NCAA Tournament berth in his three seasons as head coach and a 25-8 overall and 14-6 conference record. Maryland finished second in the Big Ten standings, earned a No. 4 seed in the national tournament and spent six weeks in the Associated Press top-25 poll — the most since 2019-20.
Maryland’s 25 wins so far are tied as the sixth-most in program history and the most since 2015-16 (27). The total also ties his career-high in a single season (2015-16 at Seton Hall).
