Maryland men’s basketball head coach Mark Turgeon announced the hiring of Kevin Broadus as an assistant coach with the program on April 21, 2017. He enters his second season with the Terps in 2018-19.
Broadus has made an immediate impact for Maryland on the recruiting trail, bringing in Serrel Smith Jr. and Ricky Lindo Jr. in 2018 to bolster a top-10 recruiting class for head coach Mark Turgeon.
He also played a lead role in the recruitment of Makhel and Makhi Mitchell for the class of 2019, securing the signing of the four star twin forwards. Makhel was rated as an ESPN and Rivals Top-100 player for the class of 2019.
Broadus most recently spent nine years at Georgetown and brings more than 20 years of coaching and recruiting experience to Maryland. Georgetown won three Big East championships and advanced to seven postseason tournaments in his nine years with the Hoyas, including a trip to the Final Four in 2007.
“We are thrilled to welcome Kevin to the Maryland Basketball family,” Turgeon said. “Kevin has a strong reputation as a tireless recruiter and is passionate about developing players on and off the court. He has extensive knowledge and experience as a coach and I am confident his ties to this region will be extremely valuable to our program.”
Broadus has coached and recruited five high school All-Americans and 12 NBA players during his coaching career, including Kevin Huerter, Jeff Green, Roy Hibbert, Vernon Macklin, DeJuan Summers, Patrick Ewing, Jr., Otto Porter, Chris Wright, Henry Sims, J.R. Pinnock, Pops Mensah-Bonsu, and Mike Hall. Known as a strong recruiter with outstanding local ties, Broadus has coached at five universities in the metro area.
Broadus played college basketball at Bowie State University, where he graduated from in 1990. Upon graduation, Broadus remained at Bowie State as an assistant coach until 1993, before serving as an assistant at the University of the District of Columbia for four seasons. While coaching at UDC, he earned a master’s degree in counseling in 1995. Broadus also had coaching stints at American University (1998-2001) and George Washington University (2001) before landing at Georgetown in 2004.
A native of the Washington D.C. region, Broadus played high school basketball at Dunbar in the District and Montgomery Blair in Silver Spring, Md. He began his collegiate career redshirting his freshman year at Grambling State before returning home to attend Bowie State, where he lettered three years and earned a bachelor’s degree in business administration in 1990.
In addition to his extensive coaching experience, Broadus spent two seasons as the head coach at Binghamton University from 2007-2009, leading the Bearcats to the NCAA Tournament in 2009, and worked as a summer camp coach and counselor for both the Philadelphia 76ers and the New York Knicks. Broadus and his wife, Belinda, have four children, Nicol, Milan, Paris and Kevin Jr.
