The University of Maryland will name the basketball court
at its home arena after former head coach Gary Williams, who retired in May
after a 22-year run.
The ceremony will take place at the Comcast Center on
Dec. 9.
The recommendation was made by school President Wallace
D. Loh, who calls Williams “a faithful alumnus, a highly successful and iconic
figure in men’s college basketball across the nation, a fierce competitor and a
tireless fundraiser on behalf of student scholarships.”
Williams retired with a 461-252 record at Maryland. In
2006, he surpassed Lefty Driesell as Maryland’s winningest coach.
The Terps won the 2002 national championship under
Williams and reached the NCAA tournament in 14 of his final 18 seasons at the
school.
Hopefully, Maryland officials won't let Under Armour paint the floor...
