Other College Basketball coaches think Roy Williams is overrated

[Dr. Rosenrosen]

Seemed appropriate to resurrect this thread.

Bet he gets a lot of very quick handshakes from opposing coaches this year.

Interesting quote from Marcus Paige on Ol' Roy:

"I've read different things that have come out of the report that have called him out or taken shots at him; it's not entirely fair to him," Paige said. "He's had it just as probably rough as anyone because when you are the face of the basketball team of North Carolina, regardless of what goes on, you're going to get a lot of backlash when something negative arises and it's on him. I think our team provides him some joy and he uses us as a release for some of the negative things that have been going on."*

It's not good for a coach to have a player feeling sorry for him, patronizing him, and saying the criticism of him "is not entirely fair." (emphasis added).

I can't think of an example where a leader succeeded because people felt sorry for him. Yet that's where Roy is. Maybe it'll work as a motivational tool. Like he has cancer or lost his family in a plane crash. But I don't think any leader in any endeavor would want to have to motivate a team with personal sympathy for himself.

Oh, and he doesn't have cancer, and his family wasn't killed in a plane crash. He just put his fingers in his ears while his team cheated academically. Which makes the whole, "Let's feel sorry for Roy and win one for the Gipper" thing pretty thin.

Jay Bilas just tweeted that Monday night, Kansas is celebrating the 60th year of Allen Fieldhouse. Past coaches, i cuing Roy, will attend. Wonder what the reception for him will be.

The smart opposing coaches will count their fingers afterward, no matter how brief the handshake with ol' roy.
