AD Yow Supports Williams
Maryland AD Deb You has given her public support to Gary Williams. It looks like his job is safe – not only this year, but until he is ready to call it quits. Good for him. Williams is a great coach who has struggled a bit since winning the 2002 National Championship. I hope they
Players Rally Around Roberts
Rumors have been swirling about the future of St. John’s head coach Norm Roberts. With a 60-76 (23-52 Big East) overall record in four and 1/2 seasons and a 3-6 Big east record this year, critics have been calling for his dismissal. Apparently the players have gotten wind of this and have stepped up to
Kennedy Arrest Caught on Tape
The video from the December 18th arrest of Ole Miss basketball coach Andy Kennedy was made public by WLTW TV 5 in Cincinnati. It’s very interesting to watch as Kennedy begs officers to let him go – claiming it will be an "international" incident if he’s arrested. The best quote from the video comes from
Knight interested in Georgia?
Rumor has it that Bob Knight is interested in vacancy at Georgia.

More Gary Williams News
Just wanted to pass along this article from the Washington Post. Things really are starting to heat up in the public battle between Gary Williams and AD Debbie Yow (and her staff). I’m giving even odds that Williams will be fired after the season, and 3-1 odds that it happens in the next few weeks.
Trouble at Maryland
Things are going south in a hurry for Gary Williams at Maryland. With Maryland faltering in the ACC (2-4 – with a 40 point loss to UNC), questions have begun to arise about the programs lack of ability to attract high major talent. Williams blames Kathy Worthington, Maryland’s senior associate athletic director for losing two
Big Buyout for Gottfried
Mark Gottfried will reportedly receive a buyout of more than $2 million from the University of Alabama. He will get 29 payments of roughly $75,000 each. This will change if he decides to take another job, then his buyout will be decreased by the amount of his new salary. I guess being forced out isn’t
