So while the new of Maryland's AD swinging and msising yet again during a coaching search, we felt it important to still reflect on Gary Williams' 22 year tenure at Maryland. I went down to College Park Friday morning and got some reaction from fans and media alike on the legendary coach's retirement. Above is a compilation of some of the reaction given to the news of Gary's retirement as well as the fans' and media's favorite memories of Gary Williams. Needless to say, there are a lot of folks who are going to miss Gary's ritual of pre game fist pumps.

Enjoy.
