Tuesday Morning Dump

Sadly, you will find no links about the Grizzlies/Thunder bonkers Triple-OT game from last night. But, Maryland finally found a head coach to replace Gary Williams. Plus, we provide links to a bunch of reactions from the early entry deadline decisions

- It took Maryland just four days to find a new head coach. Mark Turgeon, who has spent four years at Texas A&M, will reportedly make close to $2.5mil a year as the new head coach of the Terrapins. Matt Norlander wonders if Turgeon is a good fit for the Terps. Sean Miller cleared up the confusion about his role in Maryland's coaching search. Turgeon might not be the "sexiest" hire, but it may be the savviest. Testudo Times grabbed the reactions of media members on this decision. Mike DeCourcy says Turgeon is a safe hire, but not the right one. A nice recap of the whole process
