STATEMENT FROM GOVERNOR MARTIN O’MALLEY ON UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND MEN’S BASKETBALL COACH GARY WILLIAMS’ RETIREMENT


ANNAPOLIS, MD (May 5, 2011) – Governor Martin O’Malley issued this statement today following Gary Williams’ announcement that he will retire as coach of the University of Maryland, College Park men’s basketball team:

“I’d like to thank Gary Williams for over 20 years of dedication to the University of Maryland, College Park men’s basketball team and for his devotion to his alma mater. Gary’s leadership and outstanding coaching and recruiting abilities have developed the talents and skills of some of today’s best athletes, and helped them to become great professionals and individuals with confidence and character – on and off the court.

“In 2001, he led the Terps to their first Final Four in school history; and in 2002, they brought home an NCAA National Championship. Though it will be difficult to imagine men’s basketball at College Park without Gary Williams, we certainly wish him much success in the future.”

Geez, Joe, why all these posts about Martin O'Malley? Does anyone really care what he thinks about Gary Williams? Does anyone really care that he's going to participate in a ceremony somewhere? Does anyone really care what he thinks of himself? The only thing we care about is his uncanny ability to find a new way to tax us every hour. He's already worn out his welcome. Let it go. Please
