Kevin Willard’s staff at Villanova will have a high level of familiarity with four coaches coming with him from the University of Maryland.
David Cox, Greg Manning Jr., and Kevin Norris were assistant coaches with Willard at Maryland while Ricky Harris was Director of Operations. All four will be assistant coaches on Willard’s staff at Villanova. Willard will also be brining over Brenton Petty. Petty was the video coordinator at Maryland. He’ll be assuming the Director of Player Development/Assistant Coach role at Villanova.
Ashley Howard is the only holdover from Villanova’s previous staff. Howard served two stints at Villanova. The first one started in 2013. He returned to the staff after a four-season run (2018-2022) as the head coach at LaSalle.
