Maybe Debbie Yow won their war of attrition after all. LINK

“I started thinking about it last year after we tied Duke for the ACC title,” Williams told The Post’s John Feinstein in a telephone interview. “I’ve been doing this a long time and I thought it might be time to do something else. After [Debbie] Yow left, I thought I might enjoy it more this year and I really did like working with Kevin Anderson. He’s a straight shooter. But I think I’d been worn down by the previous 15 years [with Yow]. It grinds on you.

Hearing lots about Jamie Dixon -- apparently he has a relationship with Kevin Anderson via Jamie's late sister Maggie (who coached at Army).

After Stevens, Dixon would be my second choice. He's a fabulous coach. Dixon had been speculated in the past, so there could be some meat to this.

Not that I'm an expert on him, but without looking into him further he seems like a very good get.

Anyway, I have a great deal of appreciation for what Gary's done and despite his faults he's always been a favorite of mine.

Congrats on a great career Gary and good luck with your future!

Well said, after the sting goes away, I hope this turns into several pages of appreciation for Gary. He's one of the best, and is our Hall of Fame coach! We're lucky to have had him grace our presence for all these years.

Katz did drop some big names on Sportscenter as possible replacements or as he said, coaches who would at least "pause" to consider the Terps job.

Mike Brea (Notre Dame)- Dematha connections

Jay Wright (Villanova)

Jamie Dixon (Pitt)- knows KAnderson well

Mark Few (Gonzaga)

Brad Stevens (Butler)

That is quite a list! I'd take any of those guys. I could see Stevens making the jump to a major conference. He's still young enough to break a lot of records at the ACC.

I should point out too that Dixon was drafted by the Bullets in 1987. I don't think he played, but he was drafted.

      Starting point has changed.  Given the fact he has approx 1/7th of his season in the books at 1.139, to OPS just .780 for the season, he'd have to drop off to under .730 the rest of the way.  That sort of drop off wouldn't be acceptable to me. I'd like him to OPS .800 the rest of the way for roughly .850 for the season.  The more they use him in a platoon role, the better I think that number might be.

      Time Gunnar's triple

      By Filmstudy · Posted

      Can I ask how you timed it vs the DVR?  Did you use a stopwatch or count click with pause/FF, or something else?

      Who is "selling" this year?

      By Philip · Posted

      I can’t fathom why anyone would want a Tanner Scott return. In 10 innings, he is 0-4 with a 1.78 whip. He was maddening before, and now he’s older. But I wonder if the Red Sox would part with Justin Slaten? He’s been pretty outstanding. Yeah, only 8 innings, but we hired Yohan Ramirez, and he’s been a catastrophe in 10. Yes, I know he’s a rule 5, and the Bosox are in the East. And their pitching is pretty thin, too. But they know they aren’t going anywhere in this division, and they might think getting a good return for a Free Rule 5 guy might be worthwhile.

      This draft unfolded weirdly.  First with the *nix guys getting taken early and then how no defensive players got taken all draft, and then a bunch of teams reaching for OTs.  I'm pretty happy with how the draft unfolded because I think we got a player that I expected to be gone by the teens or early 20s.  I don't know what we're doing with our OL but hopefully we can maybe trade up from 62 to pick someone up.

      My guess is more of a safety profile than they preferred. They clearly wanted Wiggins. They ran that pick up fast. And then when you listen to the press conference, the love for the player was obvious.
