Hey, Roy ... A few thoughts ...

[Lewis Dorm Legend]

Hey, Roy ... Just a few observations that may be of help, particularly the next time we play the Dookies ...

(1) It's okay to call a time-out, especially if the team seems to be struggling. There's not going to be an award given to the NCAA coach who called the fewest TO's in a season, so let's not have that as an objective. Maybe you don't like to call time-outs because you're often at a loss as to what to tell the guys. In that case, just make the call, sit down and let the assistants handle the instructions.

(2) Ever tried to start a car without gas? It just won't go anywhere without a functioning engine. Joel is this team's engine. When it became apparent tonight that we were going nowhere with the engine out of service, you probably should have rolled the ol' dice and put Joel back in the game, four fouls or not. By the way, it's relatively easy to determine how the game is going by occasionally checking out the scoreboard.

(3) You obviously haven't noticed, but the Dookies like to take the ball to the paint and kick it out for a 3-point shot. They've only been doing this for years, so I can understand how it might have escaped attention. Perhaps it would help if our guys DIDN'T all collapse to the paint leaving those they're supposed to be guarding wide open on the perimeter. Just a thought.

No charge for the suggestions! GO HEELS!

I was literally SCREAMING at the TV about our guys helping out in the lane as their guards drove to the rim ... it's SO obvious.

 

[KendallMarshallUNC5]

I mean how long do we watch this same shit happen over and over? I've always been a huge fan but I'm literally over this. His in-game stuff is baffling at times. Substitution patterns, timeout calling...strategy against the 2 and 3..

Roy should retire. Bring in someone that isn't going to do the same dumb shit over and over again.

Coaching lost this game.
Meeks is 5/5 before the first TV timeout and finished with 19 points!
Up 13, lose by 10, I agree put Berry back in the game while you're still ahead, not down by 5!
Roy, you're a great guy, now go enjoy your grandkids and your golden years.

 

[gobblercalls]

4) and while you're at it Roy, please stop fouling and giving the other team the opportunity to MAKE 33 free throws! I'm pretty sure no team has ever won a game giving up that many free points! Also Roy, how 'bout working on your 3 point shot. 5-22 just ain't getting it done. You need to put a little more arch and little better spin on the ball, maybe that'll help. I expect to see this improvement take place immediately so that you can pacify the whiners on THI. Now get in the gym and get busy!

We got a couple of future head coaching candidates here on this thread HOFers no doubt!!

 

[strummingram]

Roy,

Thanks for coaching our team to 8 regular season championships out of 14 years. Thanks for four Final 4s and 3 championship games and 2 titles in 14 years. Thanks for last season getting the regular season, ACC Tournament and NCAA championship game in one season. And, thanks for developing players the best you can during a 5 year NCAA investigation. Oh, and, thanks for making NCSU look like punks game after game after game. I'll take your stubborn ways if those are the results.

 

[uncfan in ky]

The only thing I question Roy about is why was Joel even on the floor with 3 fouls with us up 12.
There's no other coach I want at Carolina than Roy !!!!!! GDTBATH

 

[bleeduncblue]

I thought Britt did as well as can be expected ...dook just did an exceptional job of taking advantage of the situation, on both ends.

It was early second half and since Berry is a Jr. he should know not to foul. I honestly don't believe he fouled! I think 2 out of 4 were bs, and 1 of the others should have been a charge on dook if my memory serves me correctly.

 

[BillyL]

I was ecstatic when Nate tied up the game at 70 with that drive and AND1

 

[Grayhead]

My biggest gripe with Roy is his approach against dook. Everyone on the planet knows dook is driving the lane and kicking. We always respond to that scheme. Reminds me of fake throwing a ball for a dog. Some dogs fall for it all the time. Roy doesn't change his approach for dook. And they have burned us for what seems like forever. I see him demolish and demoralize moo. But K does that to him. As for the rest of his accomplishments, no one better in the game

 

[dadika13]

Coaching lost this game.

JB getting 2 BS foul calls and sitting for 10 min in the 2nd half is what lost this game.

 

[CanuckChuck]

I agree and it's a shame that the seniors had to end their ACC careers like this after how well they played last night.

LMAO some of you guys are too much. How dare anyone question anything that the great God, Roy does? Can you not be objective and also look at all of the stuff that he fks up on a regular basis?

Do substitution patterns, timeouts and strategy against the 3-ball not factor into wins and losses because I'm pretty sure we've lost a ton of games because of incompetent game management. Anyone who says that isn't true is a liar.

 

[keysersosay#1]

Ohh OK Dr Naismith

I question a lot of it. I understand very little of what he does. I can't figure out why he does most of what he does in games. I'm also not being paid millions of dollars to coach a college basketball team. I don't coach these young men day-in and day-out. He knows that team better than ANYONE else. And, unlike you, I see our program as being a very successful program and winning MUCH more often than we lose. Look at the man's record since 2003. Most universities dream of such a record.

We're in contention for titles almost every year. We're in the most competitive conference in the country that has ever existed in college basketball and we're doing it amidst a tough recruiting slump due to the NCAA dragging its ass. And, yet, we are still winning championships- tourneys and regular season- and going deep in the NCAA every year. What more do you want? It sucks to lose to dook. I get it. But, I get so sick of these armchair coaches pretending they have it all figured out and they don't.

If you're so upset with how he does it. Go out and perform by coaching a team better than him and getting his job and doing it better and prove it... not just your opinion. You're free to critique the man. Don't be shocked when others disagree with you and show you precisely why they think you're FOS.

 

[keysersosay#1]

Strumm coming on STRONG!!!!!!!!

preach it bro

 

[ChiShankCity]

Roy is the right coach for UNC. He's done a great job.

But Roy is a mis match against the current coach K who recruits 1-and-done pros. Roy's style isn't one that can stop K's style, especially defensively. It's why Duke generally wins from 3 and from the foul line routinely against Roy post Hansbrough days.

It's fine. Losses to Duke aren't life and death... But it's just a bad match up for Roy and the way Roy wants to defend traditionally.

 

[Buncombeheel]

Just finished watching Roy's interview after the loss Friday. His words, he was really ticked off right now (at the team).they stopped moving on offense and continued to foul. Might I suggest that you call a time out and instruct the lads as to their shortcomings rather than allow them to continue doing whatever it was that ticked you off! Often times I have heard Roy say, they (the players) got us into this situation, it's up to them to get us out. For Christ's sake you are the coach, coach during the game, not just during practice.

 

[Buncombeheel]

Roy,

It might even elude them.

 

[Tru Blu Tar Heel]

I get what you're alluding to.

 

[mikeirbyusa]

Why don't these same folks show up after a win?

 

[strummingram]

That's how you know the team must be performing well- the absence of certain people on the boards. The only time you'll see Spaceytoyz is when the team is struggling on some level.

be careful...this stuff gets you marked for life.

i applaud some of your work, though.

Wish Roy could get as much praise as some of our posters.

Just a thought.

The east side of the county

 

[Buncombeheel]

Why don't these same folks show up after a win?

Maybe it's like the story of the 10 year old kid who had never spoken a word no matter how much he was encouraged, prodded or coerced. One day while his mother was cooking breakfast, she became distracted and burnt the biscuits. When she served them to the kid, he said, "hey these biscuits are burnt, I can't eat these."

The mother was shocked and said to him,"you can talk, why haven't you spoken before?"

To which the kid replied, "well everything was ok up until now."

 

[MNT-FIEST]

I predict this is roys last ride and I hope it is off into the sunset in style. As soon as Knox makes his decision he is out of here and thank goodness .

it's because the creativity from some of the poasters is noticed.

Disagree.

Lol. Worthless

and i see you're still living up to my low expectations

Truth hurts, you are.

"Armchair coaches pretending they have it all figured out"....Umm the shit that Roy fks up is all common sense stuff. 20-2 run, you take a timeout and talk to your guys. Team is 20/25 from 3, you stop helping and stay on your man. Player has made last 4 shots he's taken, you don't take him out of the game. Common sense shit, bud.

You can hate all you want and talk shit like I have it all figured out but this is stuff that people have complained about for years and years - not just me.

I don't hate and I'm not talking shit.

I guess Roy just lacks "common sense shit." Go lobby for his immediate removal.
