The University of Maryland and head men's basketball coach Mark Turgeon announced Friday that they have mutually agreed to part ways.
Maryland athletic director Damon Evans released the following statement regarding the decision:
"After a series of conversations with Coach Turgeon, we agreed that a coaching change was the best move for Coach Turgeon and for the Maryland Men's Basketball program. He has dedicated over a decade of his life to the University of Maryland, and has coached with distinction and honor. ... He's a great coach and a great person, and I wish Mark, his wife Ann and his entire family all the best in the next chapter of their lives.
