Maryland has hired Seton Hall’s Kevin Willard as its next coach, the school announced on Monday.
The news of Willard becoming a lead candidate at Maryland was first reported by Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports on Friday.
An introductory press conference for Willard is scheduled for Tuesday.
Willard has been rumored as a candidate for several jobs over the last few seasons due to the job he’s done at Seton Hall. He led the Pirates to five tournament appearances in 12 years, and it would have been six if the NCAA tournament was not canceled in 2020.
