It seems old roy boogied out of the Florida state court with his starters in two before the final horn today. Roy was worried about a court storming so he left with the players that count, leaving an assistant and some scrubs to face the wrath of the Florida State fans. profiles in courage not. You want to send your players off, fine. But stay out there with the kids you left behind Roy. You coward.
 
Agree. Terrible leadership move. Don't ever want to find yourself in a foxhole with Roy Williams!!
 
Leonard Hamilton suggested it. Not roys idea. At least thats what espn reported

Yeah he suggested getting his players out of the line of fire - NOT Roy abandoning his 5 on the floor.
 
Doesn't matter if Hamilton suggested it or not (and I'm skeptical that he did). Because even if he did suggest it, that didn't mean Roy had to bolt like a coward too. Send your precious flock of McDonald's All-Americans to the locker room, but stay out there with the rest of your damn team until the horn.
 
Was there some bad blood in the game or were they just getting them out of the way of the court storming?? If the latter, the whole idea is pathetic.
 
I (barely) get the players-safety rationale for removing the starters - but for Aw Shucks to not stay out there with his scrubs is pathetic

The build up for the storming was right in front of UNC exit tunnel. It was bubbling for a few minutes. Stupid
 
Old Roy took all his scholarship players into the locker room with him ... the 5 players left to fend for themselves were all walk ons...
 
Somewhere in CT, Andre Drummond is reading about this and a rage is bubbling within him. DO IT ANDRE! LEAD YOUR WALK-ON BROTHERS TO A REVOLUTION!


(Note: clearly the above is fiction. UConnvicts don't read (cough cough Kemba))
 
According to Roy's own comments, Hamilton "almost suggested it" My take is that the topic of safety came up and probably Roy said maybe we should leave now and Hamilton quickly agreed.

Was reading their board and even their own fans think it was cowardly for Roy to leave too and leave some of his players out there. Looked pretty bad. If he had it to do over again I bet he would have stayed out there.
