Proper priorities

[Red+BlueDude]

Interesting note from Maryland head coach Gary Williams in today's Baltimore Sun:

The NCAA tournament rolls on, and the teams still playing keep trying to block out distractions. Yet, the war in Iraq is impossible to ignore.

"A lot of things don't hit home with 18- to 22-year-olds, but the situation in Iraq has hit home," said Williams, who watches war updates with the team before studying opponents with them on videotape.

Said Maryland guard Drew Nicholas: "Everyone respects the courage and bravery those guys show. We're the same age. It could be us."

Hats off to Coach Williams for putting the world situation before a basketball game on his priority list. He's always been an extremely level-headed guy, and that rubs off on his players.
