RALEIGH, N.C. --- There's a Baltimore/D.C.-area teleconference coming up at the top of the hour to chat with former Maryland athletic director Debbie Yow and discuss her departure to N.C. State.
Naturally, when a couple reporters who made the trek to the Triangle had a few other questions that weren't just N.C. State-specific --- and were more reflective than forward-looking.
One concerned her relationship with her revenue coaches --- notably basketball coach Gary Williams. Yow offered an interesting nugget on something that could develop in the near future.
"About 10 days ago I asked ... the [campus] committee on naming opportunities to consider --- I submitted a formal request to add his name to Comcast floor," Yow said. "I don't know. Is that something you do if you're having a spat? I don't know. It just doesn't seem to fit."
Yow also said she recently completed a nomination for Williams for the national basketball hall of fame.
In any case, it would come as no surprise if Williams' signature (or maybe a silhouette with a fist pump or some other symbol to reflect his 21 seasons and counting) landed on the Comcast Center court in the near future.
However it turns out, Yow will only make it to College Park once or twice a basketball season --- if that --- to see it.
If they had a signature with a little fist pump silhouette I think I'd die a happier man. That would just be insanely cool and totally deserved by Gary. Let's make it happen.
Also, the M logo at the center needs to be expanded or improved; it's solid but unspectacular.
