In the Pantheon of Maryland sports coaches, Gary Williams is Zeus.

NOBODY gets more out of less and NOBODY has given more blood, SWEAT and tears than Gary has over the years:respect

Your nuts if you don't think this means something to them. They were picked to be in 5th place this yer. They had to beat Duke and go on the road to UVA where they have not won in 4 years. Yes the Dance is the ultimate glory, but I know the school and team are very happy they can claim that title.

Vasquez named All-ACC first team and Jordan Williams ACC All-Rookie team.

They name the ACC player of the year and coach of the year today. If Vasquez doesn't win over Scheyer then that will be a travesty. Vasquez is averaging better numbers than Scheyer and had better numbers than him in the head-to-head matchup last Wednesday. Gary also has a very good shot at coach of the year. From 7-9 to 13-3 in the conference and a share of the regular season title is a huge turnaround and should get Gary the award.

Not only did Vasquez have better stats he is on a team with less talent.

Terps had 1 guy on the All ACC teams in a whole and one on the Rook team.
Duke had 2 guys on first team alone and another 2-3 on 2nd and 3rd team.

Scheyer had way more talent around him to play with ultimatley letting him get better looks and get open easier and not feel the pressure of the game is on his shoulders.
Vasquez did not have the talent around him, got double teamed and always had the weight of the game on his shoulders but still shows up in clutch situations.
Vasquez is single handedly the better player and deserves the award.

All very true. Let's just hope that Duke Vitale doesn't have a vote, or General Greivis is done for.
