Yeah, but we wudda beat 'em by 70 if he hadn't called those TOs at all the right moments.

Roy has never called timeouts to stop other team's runs. He's not going to start. Gottfried called them, like many coaches do, to try and break the tempo and stem the tide of the momentum. It didn't work today. It does work for some coaches sometimes. But, just because it didn't work for Gottfried today, doesn't mean that calling timeouts during a team run is bad strategy. It just means that they do work sometimes and, as it has always meant, that Roy Williams never calls them and that's his choice and his preferred strategy. Neither is right or wrong, or better or worse... just different.
If you're a UNC basketball fan, it's best to just accept that your coach isn't going to call timeouts when most coaches do call them. It's not difficult. I never expect them, so I'm never disappointed. The only times I am frustrated with him refusing to call a timeout is at the end of a game (say a last possession) and we're tied, or down by one or two points, and the outcome of the game is coming down to that possession, and the kids don't seem to be sure what to do... and he lets time run out and we get overtime or lose. That's pretty rare, so I'm not frustrated very often.

Time outs can't make your team better than the other team!
Roy should have lent Gotti some of his rollover TOs!
Once again I am thrilled that whom ever is taking shots at Roy on this thread is on my ignore list!

NVSU's losses:

UNC 56-107
Close NVSU wins:
Georgia Southern 81-79
Loyola of Chicago 79-77
BC 77-73
IOW, they're not a very good team. Gott-fired is once again underachieving with a talented team. The man was .500 as a coach in a weak SEC. Their AD Yow is the gift that keeps on giving. I hope she's there for decades.

Not much of a coach, but gotta give him credit..... His daughter is a smoke show.
No excuse for them not being better. Gott has won 62% of the games he's coached since he was hired at NVSU in '11, so he's not a terrible coach. But he's had some talented teams that underachieved big time. This year is just another example. He somehow convinces players like Smith to play for him though. Go figure. I hope he's there a looooooooooooong time.
I'm not impressed with 62%. Let's say that 5 or 6 "patsies" are baked into the schedule each season (I'm looking at you Jim Beiheim), and that puts him at around .500 with the rest...I haven't looked, but wouldn't doubt it if he's under .500 in the ACC during his tenure.
He's never been accused of having the strongest non-conference schedules.

And that is their problem, Gott is awful, give ya 3 examples of this.NVSU's losses:

1) Dennis Smith picks up his second foul before the 10min mark of the first half, Got puts him back in and of course he picked up #3.
2) His offensive attack is way to dependent on his PG going one on one, 1 vs 5 is never the best plan to attack and opponent, they need more scoring balance and they actually have guys that should be able to give them that but his PG just has that ultimate green light and gets himself going but not his team.
3) Poor player development, Abu threatened to leave after last season, wasted time by testing the NBA and ends up back with the wuffies but if anything looks like he regressed from the player he was last season. OMG, look at Aynga, that kid has big time raw talent, had big time raw talent as a freshman, has not progressed at all and has now added back on the weight he lost last season. That is talent regression rather than development, hard to understand.
All valid points, Dave.
I told my bro-in-law, a State grad, that Gott was not the answer to their basketball woes. He got his masters at Clemson so he's a happy camper today.

He picked the wrong Roy characteristic to copy.You know, the ones like he was calling to stop our runs.
