This was written over at Scout Friars, but the guy who wrote it wants it to be posted here at the HLOH...

Mark Turgeon out as Maryland men’s basketball coach after 10 seasons - Baltimore Sun
https://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/ter ... story.html

Turgeon acts like a 5 year old on the sideline. Whiny cheerleading douche.

His coaching career is interesting, falling into great positions, and his NCAA wins and success... well, some good, and some underwhelming...

So, good fetting NCAA bids.
Problems getting high seeds.
.
In the NCAA's, in only 2 years has he beaten a team from a power conference... 2006 beating Seton Hall and Tennessee... 2021 beating UConn...
.
Most of his NCAA wins are against midmajors:
BYU, BYU again, Utah State, Valpo, South Dakota State, Hawaii, Belmont
.
NCAA's with Texas A&M and Maryland (so 2008 to present), he was 1-9 vs major conferences. And vs major conferences recently he tends to get his -ss kicked.
.
P.S. 50 bucks* to anyone who knows in what conference Jacksonville State was living in 1999.

* i will not honor this deal... may be paid by Stever20 or Gtmo.

Was Jax St even D1 in 1999-00?

So I looked and they were. And was kind of the conference I was thinking..

thought his Wiki page thing about his end at Wichita was something-
Turgeon and the Shockers started the 2006-2007 season 9-0, winning on the road at George Mason,[9] LSU,[10] and Syracuse.[11] The Shockers were ranked as high as #8 on the AP Poll before entering a slump, ending the season 17-14 and without a postseason.

It would take Gregg Marshall 2 years to get the back.

Bino Ranson already sending out texts...

And Kevin Willard is already popping up all over the place as the media favorite to get the job. Not an ideal distraction to have hanging over the team all season.

I saw somewhere else Ed Cooley popping up as well....
