UVU is about to beat BYU.

It is a university in the state of Utah, so does UVU have a legendary BB coach also?

I don't if this qualifies for legendary but he does have two NBA championship rings

Needed to happen but the timing is REALLY strange.

Watch Danny Manning have a decent year with the Terps as interim and trick someone else into giving him a good HC gig.

Why do you think it needed to happen? He's been pretty damn successful there. NCAA success lacking admittedly but he's shown to get them there constantly.

Fans completely turned on him.  He's being booed at home games and fans are chanting that they want him fired.  I wouldn't doubt that he had enough at this point.

Maryland needs to admit their mistake and move back to the ACC.

Of course, that’s a non-starter because of the money.  Their fate was sealed the minute they made their deal with the devil.  It has no natural rival in the Big 14 and has no cache nationally.  You know when it did?  When it was a foil to the blue bloods on Tobacco Road.  Maryland-Duke, Maryland-UNC was must see TV.  Now?  Maryland-Sparty?  Maryland-Purdue?  Who cares?

Apathy is a dangerous thing for a college basketball program as the Marquette administration found out.  Stuck in a league where no one wants you isn’t much better.  Maryland better hire itself someone along the lines of Nate Oats to energize that program.  Will they?  We’ll see

He was decent but not great.  No real NCAA success.  Only 1 finish over 5th in the B10 over the last 4 seasons and it wasn't looking like it was happening this year.  Recruiting has been ehh too since that 2018 class.

He wasn't awful but he was just decent.  Which isn't good enough for a historically very good program in a super rich recruiting area.  The fans turning on him didn't help either.

While I think you are essentially right that Maryland is an outlier in the B10, I think you are exaggerating it a bit.  In 2020 they were a B10 regular season champion and a top 10-15 team most of the year.  And outside of the back to back Final Fours under Gary Williams, they have been a very good, but not great program.  Sweet 16s were their usual ceiling.

Turgeon was not fired. This was far more his decision to part ways now, source told @Stadium.

Mark Titus @clubtrillion
Going to go ahead and guess that the source is Turgeon/Turgeon's agent
Btw hilarious attempt at narrative control to say "He wasn't fired for being a bad coach! What actually happened was that he just chose to quit on his team 8 games into the season"

I’m not saying they’re a “blue blood” but I don’t think Maryland basketball is anything other than just another basketball progr at the moment because of the league they reside in currently.  They became something other than that in the ACC and I don’t see that happening in the Big 14.  The fanbase thinks they’re something they’re not and expectations are out of whack.  Winning a share of a Big Ten regular season title isn’t what they think their ceiling is and I think it is as long as they’re in that league.  The ACC elevated them.  The Big 14 fattened the pocketbook

Really impressive comeback for Iowa.  I'm not sure they'll pull it out but to be down 19 and be within 2, without their best player, is a great effort.
