Now that Debbie Yow has gone; all of that unspoken animosity has apparently bubbled to the surface.  Apparently, Gary Williams can’t contain his excitement that Yow has left.  Jeff Goodman on FoxSports.com reports that “Yow’s departure has added 5-years to Williams’ career”.
Yeesh.  I knew it was bad; but I didn’t know it was THAT bad.  [...]

I’m back from my self-imposed week long hiatus.  Once Evil Drew Nicholas doomed our season, I needed a break from writing.  Some unattributed quotes overheard last week:

When the shot went in, I had to take a knee
I woke up at 5AM on Tuesday, started thinking about the shot and I couldn’t go back to sleep.
There [...]

If there was a debate about Greivis’ place at Maryland, Gary settles it.  For all his warts, I’ve never been more convinced that there is no other human being on this planet fit to coach this team.
I need to stop because it’s getting a little misty here in Chicago….

Houston, you had a problem.  His name was Jordan Williams.  21 points, 17 rebound and he is a freshman.  Perhaps the most exciting part is that players usually improve the most between their freshman and sophomore seasons. But, surely that is a topic for another time.  There are still game(s) to be played this season.

I’m back.  I’ve spent the last 4 days in Phoenix, AZ (where it rained and didn’t get above 60 degrees) at my company’s National Sales Conference.  Needless to say, I had no time to do any actual work, let alone write a blog post.
During my hiatus, both Greivis and Gary won the honors they deserved. [...]

As promised (even though I’m a little late), here are some quotes I got from the Duke presser yesterday. It was my first one of these, and it was pretty cool. There were about 25 reporters (including familiar Terp faces like Patrick Stevens, Seth Hoffman, Steve Yanda and Jeff Barker), a bunch of cameras and [...]

Let there be no doubt about Gary Williams  desire to coach.  He’s been sleeping at the Comcast Center because he doesn’t want to risk getting stuck in the snow on the way to the game tomorrow.  That is incredible.  You find me another 63 year old with that kind of dedication?
In other news, the University [...]

Dan Steinberg at the WaPo has summarized an extensive interview that Gary Williams gave on ESPN’s 980 AM yesterday afternoon.  Here’s what Gary had to say about recruiting:
“The penalty that the Alabama football team got, for instance; they have to forfeit games, ok? And they get probation for three years or whatever it is. That [...]

I’ve struggled for days to conjure up the words to accurately describe the roller coaster that was 2008-09 season.  What are we to make of this program?  It was the best of times; it was the worst of times.  How did it make you feel to see Dave Neal emerge?  An athletically limited player who [...]

Before getting into this, let me say once again that I love Gary Williams.  He is the best coach in the history of our program and is a Hall of Famer.  He is who he is and will always be more comfortable coaching character guys than guys who are using the school as a stepping [...]
