Roy Williams, Not Coach K Or Tom Izzo, Is This Era's Best March Madness Coach

... Four trip.). Williams’ March dominance is truly a remarkable thing. It’s not just that he’ll have passed his mentor, Dean Smith, for championships if he wins his third on Monday. It’s that he simply is the most successful NCAA tournament coach of the 2000 s. Compare him to his foremost rivals. • John Calipari: 1 championship, 5 Final Fours, 9 Elite Eights, 10 Sweet 16 s. • Tom Izzo: 1 championships, 6 Final Fours, 8 Elite Eights, 11 Sweet 16 s. • Mike Krzyzewski: 3 championships, 4 Final Fours, 5 Elite Eights, 13 Sweet 16 s. • Rick Pitino: 1 championship, 3 Final Fours, 6 Elite Eights, 7 Sweet 16 s. • Bill Self: 1 championship, 2 Final Fours, 9 Elite Eights, 12 Sweet 16 s. • Roy Williams: 2 championships, 7 Final Fours, 10 Elite Eights, 12 Sweet 16 s. Now, this is not an argument that Williams is a better coach than Krzyzewski. He also hasn’t leveraged the one-and-done era as ...

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

... to be front and center here. Just look at the debate over gerrymandering playing out right now in Austin. District lines are too often drawn to represent the interests of elected officials, not the voters they serve. For many, Williams was the most visible reason that minority communities and issues important to them got attention at City Hall. He helped fight police brutality. He protested apartheid in South Africa. He demanded fair housing. He set an example of how to bring about change. The Williams-Crenshaw suit followed a challenge to the all at-large system brought by the late Al Lipscomb that led to Dallas 8-3 system. But U. S. District Judge Jerry Buchmeyer struck down that system in 1990, ruling that electing three seats on a citywide basis still did not give minorities enough voting strength. After much debate and compromises, that led to the current 14-1 plan, with only the mayor elected at-large. The first election under the new boundaries was held in 1991. Just four years ...

PHOENIX, AZ (WWAY) — North Carolina head basketball coach Roy Williams normally won’t make a on the record comment about one of his assistant coaches, but Williams did just that on Friday at the Final when asked to comment on the coaching strengths of C. B. Mc Grath. “He is extremely intelligent and very organized,” Williams said from Phoenix. “He has a passion for the game. Loves working with young people, does see the big picture all the time. I do think he has every skill you would want a perspective coach to have, if and when that happens.”. UNCW is apparently very close to hiring a new basketball ...

... coach. “This is (Przemek) Karnowski’s fifth NCAA tournament but everything is going to get ratcheted up 300 percent with the media, the demands,” Few said. “The general distraction meter is going through the roof. Obviously Carolina kids have dealt with it and managed it great if you look at how they performed last year at the Final Four. “But when the buzzer goes off after warm-ups, all four teams have shown they’re ferocious competitors and really focused on the task at hand. It’s going to be about who plays the best for those 40 minutes.”. Altman sought advice from his former K-State boss Lon Kruger and ex-Stanford coach Mike Montgomery. “What to avoid, embrace because it’s a new experience for our coaching staff and we want to try to help them as much as possible,” Altman said. “Hopefully it’ll be similar to the last two weeks where we just went into a four-team tournament. This is a bigger stage, the guys are aware of it.”. It’s the biggest stage, and Few is thrilled his biggest fans, parents Norm and Barbara, are making the trip. “Just organized their travel to get to Phoenix,” Few said. “They were with us in San Jose (last ...

Williams, born in North Carolina, stressed his home. More On. Duke just made a major statement. “Don’t ever forget your roots,” Williams said. “We have tremendous history in this league. But Jimmy’s got the right to have his opinion. It doesn’t mean that he’s wrong. I played golf with him one time, and he thought it was going to make left, and the sucker broke right.

Roy Williams On Oregon, ‘yoober,’ His Team Of Idiots

... – that they needed to listen to Williams. According to Williams, Paige said: “I’ve never won a ring. Nobody in this room has ever won a ring.”. The statement, Williams said, hit him “like a sledgehammer.” Paige had that presence, that serious presence, that commanded respect. The leaders on this team are Joel Berry and Justin Jackson and seniors Kennedy Meeks, Isaiah Hicks and Nate Britt. But it’s different. “The seriousness of Marcus is gone, the quietness of Brice is gone,” Williams said. “Now it’s Theo and Joel and those guys, and I mean, it’s comedy express out there half the time. So they’re closer together because they’re all idiots. And me with them, I guess. So it’s my kind of team.”. The team left for Phoenix not long after the news conference ended, and departed for the airport at around 7 p.m. Joel Berry was not wearing any walking boots while he walked to the bus.

Roy Williams' Dadgum, Blankety-blanking Vocabulary Keeps Players Laughing

... own reaction. “I actually started busting out laughing,” he said. “Blankety Blank” is one of the many Royisms that Williams inevitably sprinkles in whenever he speaks. From “dadgum” to “give a flip” to “Jiminy Christmas,” Williams uses many of them as a way to prevent himself from saying something stronger. When Williams first took over as head coach at Kansas in 1988, he told his team to give him seven curse words a year. He largely abided by that for a few years until folks at rival Kansas State started ridiculing him for his clean image, calling him by the derisive nickname, “Mr. Perfect.”. Williams told reporters last March that he responded to that by intentionally letting a curse word fly in his first press conference after hearing about the nickname, a decision he now regrets. The many words he uses now in place of cursing represent a happy medium born from his childhood roots in Marion, N. C. “I try not to set a bad example for players cursing all the time,” Williams said. ...

Facebook Creator Mark Zuckerberg Meets With Roy Williams, Coach K

... 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 Williams and Krzyzewski and talked about those kinds of things. Specifically, Zuckerberg spoke with Williams and Krzyzewski about how they organize their teams. Zuckerberg detailed his visits with UNC and Duke in a Facebook post you can read here. He thanked Williams and Krzyzewski “for teaching me how you set values for your ...

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

... 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 benefit, not yours.”. With the many accolades that Roy Williams has achieved in his coaching career, it is hard to argue that his methods don’t provide results. This won’t be the last time we hear about Roy not ...
