Head Coach – Mark Turgeon
Mark Turgeon is entering his sixth season at the helm of the University of Maryland men’s basketball team after leading the Terrapins to their second consecutive NCAA Tournament and their first berth in the Sweet 16 since 2003. Turgeon, who has won 25 or more games in three different seasons with the Terrapins, owns a 371-219 (.629) overall record in 18 seasons as a Division I head coach. He signed a four-year contract extension through the 2022-23 season on Oct. 27, 2016.
In his first five seasons at Maryland, Turgeon has compiled a 114-59 (.659) record – the most wins for a head coach in his first five years in program history. Turgeon's last two campaigns have added up to the second-most wins in school history over a two-year span (55). He has had the Terrapins ranked in the Associated Press top-25 for 35 consecutive weeks, including 20 weeks in the top-10. Maryland had previously not been ranked in the top-10 since Feb. 3, 2003, a span of 12 seasons.
