WILLIAMS BARS VASQUEZ FROM SPEAKING TO FANS OR MEDIA

After an interesting, albeit poorly covered by certain media outlets we won’t mention here (T.A.H.), victory over the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets that had Maryland star guard Greivis Vasquez verbally sparring with the fans and making critical post game remarks to the legitimate media, head coach Gary Williams has banned the hot-headed guard from speaking further to either group.

“That’s just the start of it,” said an exasperated Williams, “As far as I’m concerned, he isn’t to speak to anybody but his coaches, his teammates and his family. If Greivis wants cheeseburger, he better damn well hope one of us is around to order it for him or he’s gonna starve to death.”

When a reporter asked the sometimes volatile Williams what he said to the firecracker guard after Saturday’s game, Williams said, “We had an adult conversation about the whole situation. Specifically, I told him to ‘sit down, and shut up.’”
