Yow claims Williams sabotaged N.C. State coaching search

introducing coach Mark Gottfried. "I have a reputation of not getting along with Gary Williams, who has tried to sabotage the search. Come on. We all know that. OK, so whatever. It's not a reputation. It's Gary Williams out there doing his thing. Whatever.”

Williams released the following statement shortly after the press conference:

"I haven't talked to anyone -- coach or athletic director -- connected to the NC State search. I don't have any interest in the NC State search, since I'm coaching at Maryland and working hard to run our program. Anyone who says I've had contact with a prospective coach or athletic director regarding this search isn't being truthful."
