Kevin Willard Weighs Future as Maryland and Villanova Vie for His Commitment

Maryland's basketball coach remains undecided following NCAA Tournament exit, with Villanova actively pursuing him and Maryland making efforts to retain him.

Kevin Willard, Maryland's men's basketball coach, has not yet decided whether to stay at Maryland or accept Villanova's head coaching position.
Willard has expressed dissatisfaction with Maryland's financial and administrative support for its basketball program and cited uncertainty over the vacant athletic director role as a complicating factor.
Maryland administrators are making a strong push to retain Willard, reportedly offering him a new contract that meets his demands for increased program resources.
Villanova continues to actively pursue Willard to fill its coaching vacancy, following the departure of Kyle Neptune after the Wildcats' struggles in recent seasons.
Willard has stated that his decision will be a 'family decision' and emphasized his love for Maryland, though he remains noncommittal about his next steps.
