Maryland announced Wednesday that it will unveil a banner honoring former men’s basketball coach Lefty Driesell before a Feb. 11 game against Ohio State at Xfinity Center in College Park.
The decoration comes 30 years after Driesell coached his final game in College Park, where he was a revered and polarizing figure in leading Maryland’s program to national prominence. Driesell won 786 games during his 41-year coaching career, which included 17 seasons at Maryland from 1969 to 1986. Driesell finished with a record of 348-159 in that span, which included an Atlantic Coast Conference title in 1984.
