Maryland basketball coach Gary Williams will retire, FoxSports.com writer Jeff Goodman reported.
Williams, who led the Terps to the 2002 national championship, took over as head coach of his alma mater in 1989. Maryland was 19-14 that season and missed the NCAA Tournament, a rare occurrence during his time at the school. In his 33 years as head coach—he was also at American, Boston College and Ohio State—Williams had a 668-380 record.
For Williams to leave school now, after the coaching carousel has almost finished spinning, would obviously be a stunning development.
This is the second departure in as many days for the Maryland basketball program. Yesterday, sophomore forward Jordan Williams announced he would leave school, sign with an agent and make himself eligible for the NBA Draft.
