Roy Williams' Philosphy On Calling Timeouts

... with the other coach. Dean Smith saved them like pieces of gold, making sure he had them at the end of the game when he might need them most. Roy Williams has come under fire since North Carolina’s semifinal loss to Duke last weekend when Williams waited and waited to call a timeout just as Duke took control of the game. So when he addressed the media Tuesday to talk about the NCAA tournament, he was more than ready to talk timeout philosophy. Or theory. Or whatever the blankety-blank-blank you want to call it. Williams’ ideas on timeouts are deeper and more thought out than you might imagine. “I call them when I want to,” he said. And there you have it. That’s the whole Roy Williams viewpoint on when a coach should call a timeout. Of course, it took him 15 minutes to fully explain. “What my philosophy is is the same dadgum philosophy ...

Will Sean Miller Take Over For Roy Williams As Unc Basketball Coach

... it's a bit bizarre. Essentially, Archie Miller was connected to the N. C. State vacancy as soon as the Wolfpack brass announced they would fire Mark Gottfried, but Miller adamantly denied ever having contact with anyone in Raleigh. Late last week, it became abundantly clear Archie wasn't going to take the job, and Giglio's report claims that decision was made (in some small part) because the Dayton front man didn't want to compete in the same conference as his brother one day. Obviously it would be tough to battle against your brother on the recruiting trail and during the season, but did Archie really turn down the job because of that. Probably not. N. C. State is a tough place to win and there will be plenty of other strong jobs the younger Miller can choose from. Dayton's recent success has turned Archie into one of the hottest names in college basketball. Either way, during the midst of one coaching search, it ...

Roy Williams Addresses Timeout Criticism During Pre-ncaa Tournament Press Conference

... every practice where the team is down by 6 points and have to come back from the deficit with three minutes to go. He even made a joke about how if they were playing Virginia the next day he would make it 66-60 instead of 86-80. It is easy to criticize as fans and as the media, however, it is also easy to forget that teams practice these types of situations all the time. The way that Roy has conditioned this North Carolina squad, as he has many of his teams, is how to overcome adversity without using timeouts. Near the end of his statement, Roy did say: “One year we played Billy Tubbs when we won at – maybe it was TCU. Yeah, I think it was…so I made it 96-90. And we beat the dog crap out of them. They were the leading scoring team in the country. So if any of my guys look nervous, or if they look confused or panicky, then I’ll call it at that point. But I’m doing this for my ...

Roy Williams Has Never Quite Gotten His Due, But He's Outdoing Even Himself At Unc

... Famer has now won an ACC title eight times in the past 13 years. Feb 25, 2017. • 2 min read. Roy Williams is a Naismith Memorial Hall of Famer and has been since 2007. So it’s not like the North Carolina coach completely lacks respect. But he is underappreciated. And a reminder of that came Saturday when Williams secured at least a share of the ACC regular-season title via an 85-67 victory at Pitt. His Tar Heels are now 25-5 overall and 13-3 in the league. So they’re one victory away from winning the outright league title for the second consecutive year. But even if North Carolina loses its final two regular-season games to Virginia (Monday) and Duke (Saturday), the Tar Heels will still be nothing less than ACC co-champions - which means Williams has now won ACC regular-season championships eight times in the past 13 years. That’s eight ACC titles in 13 years. Mike Krzyzewski has two in the same timeframe. And that sentence is not designed to discount the greatness of Krzyzewski. He’s the GOAT, far ...

Roy Williams Speaks Again On House Bill 2

... a safe and respectful environment at our events and are committed to providing the best experience possible for college athletes, fans and everyone taking part in our championships,” NCAA president Mark Emmert said in a September statement. UNC rallied late to  win against Arkansas in the second round in Greenville. Meanwhile, the Duke men’s basketball team suffered an upset loss to South Carolina — playing in front of a pro-South Carolina crowd. UNC head coach Roy Williams said Duke “paid the price” of playing farther from home and criticized HB 2 in a Tuesday press conference. “The biggest thing is, guys, it’s just not right,” he said. “I mean, I’ll stand up and say that on any building anywhere as long as you promise not to push.”. According to the Greensboro Area Convention and Visitors Bureau, the region missed out on about $14.5 million in revenue when the event left. HB 2’s economic impact is undeniable, Andrews said. “That obviously hurts hotels, restaurants, car rental agencies — that money all goes elsewhere,” Andrews said. “It’s having a profound economic effect.”. Whether the NCAA pulling events from ...

Facebook Creator Mark Zuckerberg Meets With Roy Williams, Coach K

... team. Williams during his weekly radio show spoke highly of Zuckerberg's visit. Williams said that during his coaching career he's met presidents and celebrities, but that he'd never shaken hands with someone worth $56.7 billion. That sort of money, Williams said, would buy a lot of rounds of golf. Zuckerberg is traveling around the country to complete his annual “personal challenge,” as he described it in a Facebook post on Jan. 3. In recent years, those challenges have included things like running 365 miles, or reading 25 books. This year Zuckerberg's challenge is “to have visited and met people in every state in the US by the end of the year.” To complete that challenge Zuckerberg wrote he'd need to travel to about 30 states this year. Monday, apparently, was North Carolina's turn. Zuckerberg is doing this “to get out and talk to more people about how they're living, working and thinking about the future,” he wrote in his Jan. 3 post. And so he met on Monday with ...

Roy Williams Rips Trump’s ‘bs’ In Response To Boeheim’s Acc Dig

... and in his 41 st. Here’s a stunner: North Carolina coach Roy Williams has no problem with the ACC holding its tournament in Greensboro, NC, as well as New York. One day after Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim fervently stressed his belief in the value of a big-city venue for the tournament, Williams begged to differ. Don’t forget your roots, Williams said. New York is nice, but it’s not the end-all. It’s value as a media capital has been lessened through social media, especially when “our president tweets out more (BS) than anybody.”. So take that, Boeheim. “This is America. Everybody’s got the right to their opinion. I don’t agree with [Boeheim],” Williams said after his top-seed Tar Heels beat Miami, 78-53. “I love moving the tournament around. I think it’s good. But the Masters was played at Augusta National. Augusta’s not a very ...

Celebrating Roy Williams, The Man Who Forced Dallas' Leaders To Look More Like Dallas' Population

... with Marvin Crenshaw, filed and won a federal lawsuit that led to a new system of electing the City Council. Williams, 74, died Saturday of complications from a stroke at the Dallas VA Medical Center. Folks of a certain age here easily remember him as an imposing fixture in the City Council chambers. He was among the outspoken civil rights leaders who challenged, verbally jostled with and rankled the powers that be. Roy Williams, 74, co-plaintiff in suit that created Dallas' 14-1 City Council system, led to election of minorities. Williams and Crenshaw had the audacity to make their voices heard — and in the process changed Dallas in profound ways, bringing more minorities to serve on the council, boards and commissions. A city government that had been run by whites was now more reflective of its growing minority population. Their landmark 1988 suit led to Dallas' 14-1 single-member City Council system, underscoring lessons about about the importance of the courts in protecting voters' rights. Those are lessons Texas is still struggling to learn today. Voters' rights continue to be front and center here. Just look at the debate over gerrymandering playing out right now in ...
