Maryland recently finished in 14th place at the Big Ten championships and Youssif Hemida was their only NCAA qualifier. During his time in College Park, McCoy guided the Terrapins to four top-20 finishes at the NCAA Championships, three ACC titles, and coached eight wrestlers to a total of 12 All-American awards, while being named ACC Coach of the Year three times.
McCoy has the following to say in a release from the University of Maryland:
"It has been an honor to serve as the Head Wrestling Coach at the University of Maryland for the past 11 years," said McCoy. "So many student-athletes, administrators, supporters of the program and fans have impacted my life in a positive way. While looking forward to my next journey, I will cherish the memories and relationships that I have established here and will carry them with me as I go forward."
