Bob, I agree that the Evans signing was an act of desperation by Garyland. What has happened to the Terps since winning the title in 2002 is a travesty. All I know is Gary Williams has to be held responsible for the demise of the Terps' basketball team. 3 NITs in the last 4 years is totally unacceptable. Maryland should be in the top 20 every year and an invitation to the big dance should be automatic. If Maryland doesn't at least get to the tournament ( and I don't mean the NIT) then I hope Debbie Yow tells Gary that he can either retire or be fired but there has to be a change at the top.

Turning the program around is a tall order for Gary considering the shameful actions the AD.I really expected you to be able to see the entirety of the situation with Yow and Gary Bob.I mean you do have Frau Yow's number one mouthpiece on your show every week.Here are just a few of many many ways Yow has,through the press systematically Undermined Gary.<br>1) THe NIT hatchett job<br>2) Leaking the info on Shane Clarke to the press before giving the basketball guys a chance to correct the situation -- like Villanova did<br>3) Leaking info on Dave Neal's suspension<br>4) This last debacle with the Sun<br><br>Basketball money has funded virtually the entire athletic department and enabled the myth that Yow is somehow a great AD.So now Gary wants to take a chance on one kid, yes ONE in his entire career and Yow runs to the press and goes into CYA mode.Look, Gary does not deserve a pass here. The reason we are even considering a recruit like this is because he has ignored recruiting for the past several years. Yow and her athletic department minions have been purposely leaking reports to the media for years about the program to publicly embarrass Gary. She wants him gone in the worst way and everyone even remotely associated with the university knows it.Like how Keith reported on his site that Bobby Maze wasn't coming before even Maze himself knew.I would love to see guys like Rick Maese do some investigation into the finances of the womens program and the millions lost there.There were people on your station who were very critical of the Ravens owner handling of the BB firing,the situation is similar a boss lying to the media at the expense of one of her coaches,shameful.Gary isn't untouchable Bob but he sure as hell deserves better then this.I have mixed feelings on the situation,Part me wouldn't blame Gary if he just walked(good luck getting a high profile replacement to work under that AD)but part of me can't stand to see Yow get what she has been secretly conniving for.
