I was checking through the Farmington high school MySpace forums checking up on old friends. I came across Rhet Wierzba's MySpace page. It seems that he has left Evansville and will be joining Gary Williams' Maryland Terrapins. Didn't know if anyone had heard this yet or not?

Do you know in what capacity?Originally posted by patrick_o'brian -
When Evansville changed coaches, it was initially announced that Rhet would stay on at Evansville under new coach Marty Simmons.
But he has now left Evansville and taken a job at Maryland.
However, he is not working for Gary Williams. He is the new Director of Basketball Operations for Maryland women's basketball head coach Brenda Frese. Ordinarily, moving to a job with women's basketball might be considered a step down. But Maryland is one of the top 3 or 4 women's programs in the country, they draw huge crowds (9,533 per game last year), and they won the NCAA National Championship in 2006.

Wow, Maryland's mens basketball team only drew 4,761 the last time I watched them on TV.Originally posted by Da Coach
They were playing a post-season tournament game AT home, on their own home court,
and only a miserable 4761 of their home fans bothered to show up.
In the end, the TOP seeded Terrapins in that postseason tourney lost to the bottom seeded Manhattan Jaspers.Comment
