[新聞] Mark Turgeon accepts Maryland offer
http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/news/story?id=6515713
Mark Turgeon ultimately weighed a golden opportunity to be at a
tradition-rich basketball school in the ACC against continuing where he was
comfortable at an emerging program deep in Texas.
He spent 24 hours on the decision, wrestled with it, and ultimately chose to
make his most significant career move by deciding to leave Texas A&M on
Monday and accept Maryland's offer to replace recently-retired and likely
Hall of Fame coach Gary Williams.
"It wasn't easy," Turgeon told ESPN.com a few minutes after holding a
tear-filled meeting with his Aggies players in College Station. "But I just
felt like it was a great opportunity. Maryland has a tremendous amount of
tradition, is in a great area for players, and it's in a great league with a
lot of tradition. I know you can be successful there if you work hard and get
lucky."
A news conference to introduce Turgeon is set for Wednesday at noon in
College Park.
"We're thrilled to bring Mark to the University, where I'm sure he will
continue to build on the great legacy and success of Maryland Basketball,"
Maryland athletic director Kevin Anderson said. "In Mark, we have brought one
of the outstanding young coaches in the country, and one who has a proven
record of achievement on and off the court. We couldn't be more excited."
