Unc Coach Roy Williams Defends Timeout Philosophy In Rambling, Good-natured Rant

... to play, after UNC’s once-commanding lead had dwindled to two points. The Tar Heels led 63-61 then. Williams called a 30-second timeout, which turned into the full, under-12-minute media timeout. From there, though, Duke’s charge continued and Williams did what he normally does. Which is to say that he didn’t call a timeout – at least not until about 90 seconds remained in the eventual defeat. By then the Tar Heels trailed 86-77. Williams addressed his timeout philosophy after the game on Friday. He spoke about it again during his radio show on Monday night.

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

... some kind of hot take. Arizona head coach Sean Miller has been linked to North Carolina. Joe Giglio - a reputable college hoops source for the News and Observer in North Carolina - sent this tweet on Friday. At least part of Sean Miller's Archie/State stance, according to a source, is Sean believes there's a chance he could be UNC's next coach. — Joe Giglio (@jwgiglio) March 17, 2017. Wait, so Dayton head coach Archie Miller didn't take the N. C. State job because his brother, Sean, will eventually become the UNC head coach and continue to own the ACC. I guess it sort of makes sense. When you really hash out the nuts and bolts of this whole thing, 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 ...

Why Unc Showed Up To The Ncaa Tournament With Fancy, Old-school Hats

... team in its hats – two pictures in which the Tar Heels alternated tough-guy looks with smiles. UNC coach Roy Williams sat toward the back in a stylish little tan number. Rush put special care into that one, the hat he made for Williams. It included a black bow, and what Rush described as “a little Tar Heel leather strip.”. “And then I put a Tar Heel golf tee in the bow, as a nice little touch because he loves golf,” Rush said. Rush made 24 hats in all – one for himself, 14 for his teammates and the other nine for the coaching and support staff. It takes about a week to finish a hat. It has to be cured, after it's steamed and pressed into its shape, but Rush has it down: He can handle about seven hats at a time. He's been at this now for about a year and a half. When he first began to make hats, Rush said he consulted the internet. He found a forum for “hat connoisseurs,” he said, and the conversation there provided him with the instruction he needed. Making hats isn't too hard, Rush said. All you need is steam, an ...

The Unbalanced Schedule Helped, But Unc Earned Its Regular-season Championship

... Events Center; 9. Wake Forest’s Lawrence Joel Coliseum; 10. Syracuse’s Carrier Dome (impressive in scope but just sort of dumpy, cold and industrial-feeling). 11. Virginia Tech’s Cassell Coliseum (sort of charming, actually); 12. Miami’s Watsco Center (blah); 13. Clemson’s Littlejohn Coliseum; 14. Florida State’s Donald L. Tucker Center (thought it was haunted during my years covering Florida State); 15. Boston College’s Conte Forum (not a bad place for hockey). TRENDING UP. -The ACC as a 10-bid league. Ten teams finished at least.500 in the ACC this season. All 10 should be in the NCAA tournament. That includes Virginia Tech and Wake Forest, though a win in Brooklyn in the ACC tournament wouldn’t be a bad idea for those two. -UNC as a national title favorite. The Tar Heels looked bad, quite bad, in that 53-43 loss at Virginia last week. But remember: UNC used a similar loss a year ago as a ...

After Dreams Of Stardom, How Unc’s Nate Britt Found Peace With Himself And His Role

... a great guy, a great big brother to look up to, really.”. Other players receive far more attention. As Berry goes, the saying goes, so too do the Tar Heels. Jackson is the ACC Player of the Year, an All-American whose No. 44 will hang from the Smith Center rafters. Meeks is averaging nearly a double-double. Hicks can fill a highlight tape with his dunks. If UNC returns to the Final Four in a couple of weeks, chances are it will because the Tar Heels’ best players have thrived. Britt’s role, as limited as it is on the court, has been instrumental, too, though. In moments, he offers Berry respites from the grind he often experiences. And Britt is arguably UNC’s best perimeter defender, and he’s earned the team’s defensive player of the game award 10 times this season – most on the team. If Berry is limited by an ankle injury on Sunday – and coach Roy Williams expressed concern on Saturday about Berry’s status against Arkansas – then Britt’s on-court role would expand significantly. Behind the scenes, away from the lights and the cameras, Britt already plays a large role. “Off the court, I think leadership is something huge,” Jackson said. “He’s ...

Questions That Will Determine Whether Unc Returns To The Final Four

... the Final Four, Jackson has to play better in the tournament than he has in UNC’s past four games, in which he’s made just 20 of his 60 attempts from the field. After the defeat against Duke in the ACC tournament semifinals, Jackson acknowledged that he forced shots, and that he was pressing, to use his word, to be The Guy. Part of that is understandable. This is the time of the year, after all, when the pressure is magnified. Now it will only grow from here. Jackson this season has attempted to block out the noise. He’s off Twitter. He said he limits his social media consumption. He said he tries to lose himself in his team, his family and his friends. Unquestionably, though, Jackson understands his role. For UNC to be at its best, he needs to be at his. 4. Can UNC avoid foul trouble. You saw what happened after Berry committed his fourth foul ...

On Its 50th Anniversary, Let’s Honor Unc’s Team Of ’67

... in St. Petersburg, Fla., and springs, summers and falls in Greensboro, said he has a picture signed by Smith proclaiming the ’67 team his most important one. He also said Smith expressed doubt about his future “if we hadn’t won. They had hung him in effigy in ’64, and he really hadn’t established himself. He had Bob Lewis and Larry Miller, but they couldn’t win with only those two guys.”. Brewer said he’d followed the team on television before he arrived as a student, but the ’68 team was the first one he followed up close. That was the first team I followed, period. I was 9 and, prior to that, was most likely to be found in the woods playing “Combat!” when the Heels played those Saturday afternoon games brought to you by The Pilot insurance company. If the war in the woods behind our homes was rained out, we’d be watching Buster Crabbe or Tarzan on television and probably rooting for that short-suit-wearing, tree-limb-swinging colonialist. Yeah, I know. Once I discovered Larry Miller and that left-handed jump shot, though, it was all over. Because of him, I started wearing two wristbands everywhere I went – wore ’em so often they had to be ...
