message: I'm going to respectfully disagree with the user who submitted this and remove this item, as it is not factual and arises more from a cursory observation of the coach.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.48.171.254 (talk) 05:14, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

message: I have deleted the picture of Gary Williams with "coeds" as that picture was inappropriate for this site.  A headshot would be appropriate, not one of him making a funny face.

thread_title: Picture

message: I protected this page due to the ongoing edit war. Please stop making accusations of vandalism back and forth. Neither adding nor removing that image is a clear act of vandalism. Presumably those removing the image feel that it is inappropriate / not a representative choice. Is there some other image which you think would be better? --CBD 22:18, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

message: The Washington Post recently ran a three-part series on Maryland's skid since the national championship. The second part covers the Rudy Gay recruiting debacle and gives good insight into Williams' recruiting philosophy and his opinions about the AAU. If someone is so inclined, I think it warrants its own section in the article: It's A Whole New Ballgame, and Maryland's Williams Isn't Playing. Strikehold (talk) 08:59, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Rudy Gay recruitment 

message: In response to Blueboy's edits, can you please point out specifically in the citations where:
::It says the violations were "massive"? The only thing I see is the in the Bryan Times newspaper, the NCAA described the violations as "major".  That is not the same as massive (as said in my edit summary, "massive" violations would get the death penalty, though I don't know if massive is an appropriate word to use in any case here).  Instead of using a vague, almost pov-ish term, how about drawing from the sources?  If you want specifics, check out this NYT article:
::::::Among the more serious violations against Wade, the sources said, were providing a leased car, cash payments of $272 and rides for a former Terrapins guard, Rudy Archer, before, during and after his one-season stay; giving free and discounted clothing to Alonzo Mourning and Brian Williams while they were being recruited; providing false and misleading information to N.C.A.A. investigators, and trying to get his assistant coaches to provide false and misleading information. 
After reading that, if you still think it is massive, then I respectfully totally disagree.  Also you may want to compare those violations against what other schools were found guilty of (SMU football, Kentucky basketball in the 80s, Miami football, USC football under Pete C., Michigan basketball in the 90s, etc.) to gain some perspective
After reading  reaction from the school and Kirwan in the NYT article and the existing sources, perhaps you see why such a strong term is inappropriate, and needs more context.  Just because the NCAA described it a certain way (still, not as "massive") does not necessarily mean that it should be simplified with one strong term.
::Where in the reliable sources does it say that any of the violations were committed under Lefty? The only thing I found where you may got confused involves Jeff Adkins. He played for Lefty but was a coach under Wade and the incident with the ACC tourney tickets was when he was a coach under Wade. I don't see anything about "away game" tickets under Lefty. Where are you getting this from?
Thank you.  I'll be eager to see what others think about this as well. --CutOffTies (talk) 22:54, 3 September 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: The NCAA infractions report wasn't loading for me earlier, but did now.  I think to be accurate and npov, it would be best to describe the violations as what the NCAA classified as "major" violations. Are you okay with this? --CutOffTies (talk) 00:03, 4 September 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: How about this wording: "However, in March 1990, the NCAA imposed harsh sanctions on the school for several major violations, mostly dating to the Wade era." Blueboy96 01:09, 4 September 2010 (UTC)
