When the coach

[albanycuse]

Doesnt get his team mentally ready to play he is Roy Williams. That explains the losses to teams they should beat with their talent. Paige's play didnt expose more of his bad desicions. He owes him big time.

Or the players can play better defense and make more shots. I guess Roy took off the nights they lost, but motivated appropriately for the wins only.

I've said it before, but I will say it again, the ramped up recruiting at Kentucky, Kansas, and now Duke (getting 1 and dones) has absolutely hurt North Carolina. They used to get the Parker's, Wiggin's and Randle's of the world. Now...not so much.

You can blame Roy for the phantom defense and overlooking teams they thought they could beat.

Some people like to give too much praise and blame to coaches.. I'm not one of them. I respect their influence on the game and what they do. As a player I was harder on myself than my coach was, so I prefer to include players in the blame.

I've never felt like Roy Williams "coached up" a team.

Honestly, Lawrinson, I blame Kentucky for every single thing that is not going right for college basketball. The strategy of sucking up the one and done-ers, and the NBA going along with it.

Man, Roy sure gets crapped on around here. Bottom line, he's got two titles and I'm jealous we don't.
