As far as I could tell, he could have made the announcement with three minutes left in the game.  It looked like he straight up quit.

Makes you wonder if the players did too. How deflating that must have been.

I don't think they care too much, to be honest.  A lot of them have been through the coaching carousel through AAU and school.  UMD didn't quit, they just lost to a #1 seed.  I'm not reading too much into it.  The biggest issue with MD sports is that they're just not able to consistently recruit top tier talent from the DMV in basketball or football.  I don't know if it's because a lot of local kids just want to get away from the distractions or that they're just not drawn to the campus vibe.

I agree. With the way the transfer portal is alot of these guys may of been somewhere else next year  regardless of what Williard does.

Just a heads up: You lookin for good Spring skiing with deep freshies? Look no further than Mammoth Mtn and Palisades Tahoe come Sunday thru Tuesday, with an even bigger snowstorm a few days later! The Pac is gearing up for late season annihilation of the Sierran Cordillera! Lots of free refills and deep stashes!

Woolly Cam is getting that look! Cloud bases are plummeting and snow is being blown sideways!

Kevin Williard is quite the Wiesel 

I just don't get it. With the new facility coming online and all the money that comes from being in the Big 10, plus what was reported to getting offered the top salary in the conference next year to stay, why would you go to the Big East?

Because he's a jersey guy and Big East guy. That's always where it wanted to be. Maryland job became leverage for him despite his rather pedestrian record in postseason. Basketball is number 1 at Villanova no football program to compete with for funds.

Nova's got a football program, but at the FCS level. (And a natty there as well)

.UPDATE...
Issued at 817 PM CDT Mon Mar 31 2025

Surface analysis this evening places a 1018 mb surface high over
the Upper Midwest. This is resulting in clear skies and
temperatures in the 50s across the Mid-South as of 8 PM CDT.
Current temperatures and dewpoints are running slightly cooler
than forecast. Will make some adjustments to account for short-
term trends. Otherwise, the forecast is in good shape overall.

.DISCUSSION...
(This evening through next Sunday)
Issued at 336 PM CDT Mon Mar 31 2025

The Mid-South currently sits in a wonderful spring-like regime,
characterized by dry weather and highs in the 60s and 70s.
This pattern will last through Tuesday, before several days of
impactful weather return to the Mid-South.

Guidance continues to depict a stout shortwave trough ejecting out
of the Rockies on Wednesday. This feature will kick-off surface
cyclogenesis in the northern Plains with an attendant cold front
accompanying the low. Both the GFS and ECMWF depict the center of
low pressure dropping to around 985mb over portions of Nebraska
and South Dakota. As this system translates east, it will tighten
the pressure gradient over the Mid-South. A Wind Advisory may be
needed in northeast Arkansas and the Missouri Bootheel on
Wednesday as sustained winds reach 25 mph.

Ahead of Wednesday`s frontal passage, the Mid-South will sit in
an open warm sector primed for severe storms. Further spatial
analysis depicts favorable instability and shear overlapping in
the late afternoon / early evening time frame. This corresponds
with the development of a 50kt LLJ, further aiding storm
severity. The big question at this time lies with timing of
convective initiation. The environment remains relatively uncapped
throughout the day, but guidance holds off on storm development
until the late afternoon. Any storms that fire in the late
afternoon / early evening will become supercellular in nature,
posing a risk for all severe weather hazards. In addition,
hodographs at this time gain curvature and becomes slightly
elongated. A strong tornado or two cannot be ruled out with the
supercell storms that develop in the evening. As such, the Storm
Prediction Center has kept the majority of the Mid-South in an
Enhanced Risk for severe storms on Wednesday. Due to uncertainty
with how early morning showers will impact the airmass, a higher
categorical outlook was forgone. Severe storm chances will wane
after sunset.

A multi-day period of heavy rain is anticipated Thursday through
Saturday as the previously discussed front stalls right along the
I-40 corridor. Precipitable water values will approach and exceed
the 99th percentile, resulting in efficient rainfall production.
The latest storm total estimates paint a swath of 12 inches of
rain falling in northeast Arkansas, the Missouri Bootheel, and
northwest Tennessee between Wednesday and Saturday. Elsewhere,
rainfall totals will range from 5-10 with amounts tapering off in
the southeast portion of the forecast area. This amount of
rainfall is generational. Significant river, areal, and flash
flooding are anticipated during this 4 day stretch. We strongly
urge everyone to remain weather aware as this event unfolds. A
significant threat to life and property will emerge as this
rainfall occurs.

An end to the wet and unsettled period is in sight. Next Monday
will be the first fully dry day. Until then, monitor your local
forecast and stay safe.
