Maryland's 17-person search committee for its next athletic director includes four coaches with national championships at the school --- including men's basketball coach Gary Williams.
Women's basketball coach Brenda Frese, field hockey coach Missy Meharg and men's soccer coach Sasho Cirovski are also on the committee.
Linda Clement, the school's vice president for student affairs, will chair the group to help find a replacement for Debbie Yow, who announced last week she will leave after 16 seasons to take the same job at N.C. State.
Other notable names on the committee include former men's basketball star Len Elmore and Under Armour CEO Kevin Plank.
