That's Roy's MO. When things get stressful, blame someone else. He's a petty man who has never been gracious in defeat. I lost any sliver of respect I had for him when he took all his players to the locker room early during the 30 point loss to Florida State and left his walk-ons out there to get trampled. Ridiculous.
You people are ridiculous. Why don't you look in the mirror at your own coach's underachievements? Last time I checked, Roy has one more National Title and significantly more Final Four appearances than Boeheim.
And because its always brought up, the McDonald's All-American argument is one of the most tired in sports. Did I miss the memo that Syracuse has decided to make a moral statement by refusing to recruit A-A high schoolers? I didn't think so. Now, assuming that these guys are somehow instantly better college players than their unheralded counterparts (and of course, they aren't), the drawback is that they also might be more inclined to leave early for the draft. Some might say that consistently reloading with new players and consistently competing for spots deep in the tournament (while maintaining a pretty high academic standard) is a pretty impressive accomplishment. I'm sure nobody here would draw that conclusion, but I'll do it for you.
I look forward to personally fist-fighting each and every one of you at the dome in a couple of years.

I've said this many times before, but it bears repeating: Williams has coached only at 2 of the 3 most historical programs in the nation. He has the team with more talent at least 90% of the time. His on-the -court results have not matched either of these facts.You people are ridiculous. Why don't you look in the mirror at your own coach's underachievements?

Seems very Kris Josephish.

The coaching that gets done that wins National Titles is done in the living room of recruits. No other aspect of coaching has as much impact.
I don't know if that was really a potshot, although it may have appeared that way. Barnes was a good player, just not Bob McAdoo like he was portrayed
