University of Maryland dedicates Comcast Center basketball floor to Gary Williams

COLLEGE PARK, Md. - Maryland's basketball court no longer has Gary Williams' sweat on it.

The hardwood does, however, have his name on its surface. Maybe forever.

In an emotional ceremony Wednesday night before the Terrapins faced No. 8 Duke, Maryland dedicated the floor at Comcast Center to Williams, the winningest coach in the history of the program.

After Williams entered the arena with his signature fist pump, the school unveiled two emblems on each end of the court.

Located near the visitor's bench and opposite the home bench, the markings have Williams' signature in black above the word COURT in red letters.

After the insignia was revealed in laser lights, the crowd chanted "Gary! Gary! Gary!" in appreciation for Williams, who retired in May after a 22-year run at his alma mater.
