Gary Williams Since returning to the College Park campus in 1989, Gary Williams (Maryland '68) has led his alma mater's basketball program from a period of troubled times to an era of national prominence. With 13 NCAA Tournament berths in the last 16 seasons, seven Sweet Sixteen appearances, a pair of consecutive Final Four showings, and the 2002 national championship - the first of its kind in Maryland basketball history - Williams and his staff have literally forged what is now more than a decade of dominance in college basketball's most storied and competitive conference. Now, with 418 victories as Maryland's head coach, Williams stands as the Terrapins all-time winningest head basketball coach. He passed Charles "Lefty" Driesell, who amassed 348 victories in 18 seasons from 1969 to 1986. The Terrapins have averaged 22.7 wins per year since the 1994-95 season. With 625 career victories in 31 seasons overall, Williams is the seventh-winningest active head coach in NCAA Division I men's basketball. The rise of the Maryland program has run parallel with Williams' ascent among the most notable in the collegiate coaching fraternity. Williams was one of only five coaches to boast a string of 11 consecutive trips to the NCAA Tournament from 1994-2004. He has produced more at least 20 wins in 10 of his last 13 seasons, and a school-record eight straight from 1996-97 to 2003-04. With 17 career 20-win seasons, Williams ranks seventh among active coaches. Excerpt from the official webpage of the Md Mens Basketball Program |
