The Terps held off a late second half charge by Miami to win 73-68. Miami was outcoached by Gary Williams again, but this time the Terps held on for the win. While watching the game and walking out of Comcast center, it was interesting to hear the thoughts and reactions of both students and alumni when asked if Gary should remain head coach at Maryland.
Everyone seemed to agree and acknowledge how much Gary has done for the university however most seemed to feel that Gary's time has passed and a change is needed. A graduate of 1976 echoed these sentiments as he pointed to Gary yelling at the bench and the player that was coming out of the game. He felt that the game has past Williams this decade and that Gary is too old school by yelling and screaming and only recruiting players that will stay three or four years at Maryland.
While some seemed a bit more conflicted about pushing Gary out the door, but want to see a change to get back to the NCAA Tournament. The conversation grew cloudy when Debbie Yow's name entered into the conversation. The rift between Williams and Yow needs to be addressed, but as fans expressed their disappointment with the recent lack of NCAA Tournament appearances they also voiced their strong displeasure with Debbie Yow. One student went as far as to say they both needed to go! Another student sitting high atop one of the student sections remained fairly neutral and thought Gary should be allowed to see out the remaining years of his contract to right the direction of the ship and receive more support from the athletic department.
The only student who knew a little something about cheering hard for the Terps resoundingly defended Gary while walking out with her friend and parents. She gave what could only be described as a Stone Cold Steve Austin Hell Yeah - he should stay. Her parents also thought Gary should be back. She went as far as to say that Gary was a better Head Coach of Basketball than Ralph is at coaching football. Now it's time for fans to feel free to weigh in and comment.
