Maryland has been garbage since they became a UA school, which is the MAIN reason Gary Williams quit.

You do realize that in the 4 years pre Under Armour, Maryland had only 1 NCAA appearance and 3 NIT appearances

In the first two years with UA, they made the second round of the tournament. If you think after losing their greatest coach in history they are going to keep steamrolling you are absurd. So they have an immediate program boost then lose a coach and didn't replace him well

Also, Gary Williams didn't retire because of UA. He is now one of the Asst ADs at Maryland and has not once fought the UA deal. Stop being dumb

Made the NCAA tournament & NIT only once for both in the 10 years before signing with Under Armour. Basketball school but not a great one. Made NIT first year with UA.

Temple

Can't find out when Temple signed but it was at least before 2010 according to an old al.com article. Temple has made the NCAA tournament every year they h ave been signed with Under Armour

Crazy to think this is where our expectations were a month ago, don't you think?

Funny thing is though is CBP is the same type of coach GC talked about in his OP. Pearl is a fast paced guy who likes more possessions, hitting 3s, pressing, entertainment and having fun.
