A real UNC fan can admire Dukes success, but the coaches carry themselves differently and UNC favors the way Dean did it. I am sure Packman will pop in and say "yeah, they cheated." So be it.
From what I understand, the Lakers have approached Roy about the head coaching job, but he didn't make it public. It happened as recently as 2014, according to CBSsports.com.
A few things:
1) UNC did cheat. I mean, that's not really debatable. You can debate your punishment. But plenty of UNC athletes cheated academically. It's a pretty solid argument. And one that doesn't get old
2) Of course Duke doesn't want Dean and UNC doesn't want K! You think Auburn wants Saban? Or Liverpool wants Alex Ferguson? Or Heaven wants Satan? I mean, that's pretty normal.
3) Roy is a good coach. Not debatable. Better than K? Totally debatable. I say 'no way'. UNCers say 'of course'. I say '5 titles'. UNCers say 'Roy Williams will have 5 by the time he retires'. I say 'Head to head record'. UNCers say 'Look at our brass over the last 5-6 years'. I say 'our athletes go to class'. You say 'shut up'.
