The Diamondback Online, Maryland’s student newspaper, has an interview with Gary Williams about Maryland’s recently completed summer trip to Italy. My favorite part is when the interviewer asked him whether he learned any Italian. Said Coach Williams, “Not really. I picked up a few words while I was there, like ‘thank you’ and things like that.”
Things like that, huh? Who wants to bet that the “things like that” were the same words that 14-year-olds try to learn first when introduced to new languages. I mean, when in Rome, do as the Romans do, right? And you know Gary had a few things to say during his games. Maybe he can scream his new Italian words at refs next season and avoid a T or two.
