There are plenty of coaches who build poor programs into good ones, say how was Drake before you know who? 

Some programs have more potential than others.

Drake's record before you know who was horrible. Minny isn't the hinterlands,  that's just over the top. No need to make excuses for Pitino, maybe he's improved from the young coach he was, the last two years look good, let's see how it goes from here.

Worth mentioning that to date the only tow P5 to P5 move are DeVries to IU and Sean Miller to Texas.  Could still happen at Villanova if Willard takes the job.

Too bad we all can't ask my grandmother she did not like him for some reason.

I was perusing another board yesterday and it was suggested that Willard was steering clear because of issues with Villanova personnel (non-players).  They even claimed he cautioned another potential hire (Pitino jr. ?).

I'm reading that Willard missed the team dinner last night, and that Maryland has instructed their AD search firm to also start a search for a new head basketball coach. Yes, Maryland plays their biggest game in a decade today.

I have a hard time believing a coach of a team still playing would miss a team dinner.

I don't know if it's true but here's some more of the messy Maryland situation:
Sweet 16 game day arrives for Maryland basketball and Kevin Willard with clouds rumbling overhead

Kevin Willard didn't show up to dinner with his team, the night before the Sweet 16. All reports indicate he has accepted the Villanova job. (Had to repost de-identified, sorry) : r/CollegeBasketball

According to Reddit Willard No-Showed a Dinner Last Night

Everything you need to know about the weeklong Kevin Willard-Maryland basketball saga

 

The fans have their pitchforks and torches out with an East Coast aggression. 

[TadQueasy 2,406]

Dang.  Well I sure hope that is not right.  If it is then I would have a hard time wanting him to be hired by my school.  You do not abandon your team in the tournament.

I have no idea if the dinner thing is true, it was originally posted by a team manager and reposted supposedly. However, the rest of the saga is true and has been handled about as unprofessionally as possible. I don't blame Willard for accepting the job right now. The NCAA calendar kind of forces it with the free ability to transfer only in a specified window during the NCAA tournament. However, there are much better ways to handle this.

Maryland has put themselves in a nasty situation there it looks like.  The portal really needs to open up on the Tuesday after the championship game. When the season is over, free agency begins.  No other sport has their free agency period start during their playoffs.  It is asinine
