re: Roy Williams

LSU really had them on the ropes the beginning of the second half and let them off, they settled for "oh well we played UNC close" can't do that.

I agree and so does Trent. He said he's not into moral victories.

We made some bad decisions with the ball after we tied it at 63 and those silly turnovers did us in.

And that one sequence where they got three cracks at it and ended up with a 3. We had our hands on one of those boards and couldn't secure it. That was a back-breaker.

Roy is a good recruiter, but an average coach. He has ONE national title, and the only reason he won that?

Marvin Williams - Lottery
Sean May - Lottery
Raymond Felton - Lottery
Rashad McCants - Lottery

Any hack could have success with that stout of a lineup. He has more talent than anyone in the country this year, but he'll be outclassed by a better coach when he runs into a team with even similar talent.

Right Matt Doherty won the NC the year before with that exact lineup minus Williams.

---

Williams was there the year before the national title you so called UNC fan. GTFO

Roy Williams has definitely had to work in his last 25 years, but I do think he is a below average coach.

Respect, recognition, pride, atl least to feel good for a fricking while. Take your pick

Honestly if we need a nod from Roy Williams for us to feel validated, we're in trouble.

Kracka, just keep blowing Roy. He replaced two awesome coaches (minus Daughtery was a foolish hire/promotion...so let's just say he was the first big fish to come after Smith) to begin with. He ain't doing, in today's era, what Trent Johnson has done and that's win with nameless, inconsistent, or non-face recognition programs in Nevada, Stanford, and now LSU. And where are the multi c'ships from Kansas and UNC?

that what happens when mofo's win a NC and think there a legend. you right, frick him.




where did you learn to speak (or type) english? Hopefully not at LSU

I didn't know the rant turned into grammar class.

Feel free to clue me in...you say he is a fraud, I think he is a good coach...If he was at LSU you would probably have a different thought.

I will not be a jerk here. Instead, I would just ask you to remember what happened when LSU was put on probation. It was our own faults, but Roy certainly didn't do us any favors.

I do think he is a good coach - better than average. He is not in my top 10, however, as I judge basketball coaches with what they do based on what they are given, as well as consistency. Roy will never have a bad team because he is at arguably one of the three best basketball universities in the country. Any 5 star basketball kid would put UNC in his top 5 for schools to visit. Roy, however, has one c'ship with 20 years as HC of both Kansas and UNC - two of the top 10 programs in America.

Meanwhile, Jim Calhoun has two in 20 seasons at U Conn - a school that has only been on the radar basically since he came from Northeastern. Mark Few has Gonzaga winning c'ships and making Sweet 16's. Our very won Trent Johnson has taken three different teams to league success pinnacles. Tom Crean made Marquette a powerhouse again (and probably wishes, sometimes, that he was still there) since Rick Majerus. There are a lot of coaches who could win with UNC. I do not think Roy makes UNC. UNC makes Roy. That said, he wins 25-32 games a year, but so could others. Until he wins another c'ship (to give him two), I have to put him in the same category with the likes of Tubby Smith and Steve Fisher - coaches who were handed the keys to the Ferrari and allowed the school's name to help maintain the program's success.

i think you underestimated how difficult it is to coach at a school like(UNC,Kentucky,Kansas).its not easy to win national championships when you constantly have your best players leaving early for the NBA.even this years UNC team lost a VERY important players in Brandon Wright and marvin williams to the NBA.with them UNC most definitely would have won the title last year and probably wins it again easy this year.and its not easy to get a roster full of high school all americans to coexist and play as a TEAM.remember these guys were stars in high school and all of them want to improve their "stock" for the NBA.Roy does a great job of getting these guys to play as a team despite all this.

roy may not be the greatest coach when it comes X's and O's of basketball,but hes probably the best recruiter in the nation and one of the best at messing talent.my point is his job is not as easy as you think.and had it not been for Wright and Marvin leaving early for the NBA he would have 2 national titles in his trophy case,and likely 3 after this season.
