MINNEAPOLIS — Kevin Willard will remain as the Seton Hall coach and isn’t taking the Virginia Tech job.

“Yes,” a source close to Willard said Saturday morning. “He wants to stay.”

Virginia Tech had targeted Willard, who turned 44 Saturday, to replace Buzz Williams after he left for Texas A&M. But Willard opted to remain at Seton Hall, which he has led to four straight NCAA Tournaments.

“Nothing to talk about, I’m at my desk,” Willard said by text on Friday.

Williams reportedly made $3 million this past season at the ACC school, which would have been a significant pay raise from what Willard now makes, which is closer to $2 million.
