Some due credit.

Was just about to post that win or lose Monday, Roy has flat coached his ass off in this tourney --- making all the right moves, pushing all the right buttons, and keeping a wounded teams' heads in the game at the most critical moments.

Then I run across this article.

There's a legit argument to be had that if Roy does win his 3rd title, he should be the 4th face on the Mount Rushmore of college hoops coaches:
K
Wooden
Dean
Roy (passing Bobby Knight)

 

[FlaTarHeel]

He's the best in America, period.
Without the KM injury and that crap against Nova he would be looking at #5 tomorrow

Think long and hard about that.

 

[Tom79]

Uh, wouldn't that ne #6 for the Heels...

 

[GoNtheDistance]

We win tonight. It will piss me off even more to think about last year.

I think that to be on Mount Rushmore of Coaches, you must run a clean program!

This criterion would remove both Wooden and Ratty!

This is idiotic. For so many reasons that I won't get into because we're playing for a national championship tonight and I don't even care to explain more.

But great post Gary. Roy is a legend. No other person on earth I'd want coaching our boys tonight, let's get #3 in 14 years for ole Roy.

 

[Tom79]

I like our team. I like our coach(es). I am Confident in our Tar Heels.

He means it could've been #5 just for Roy with the Heels.

But its tough to play those what-ifs. If we won it all last year, who is to say how that might have impacted who came back vs. bolted, and who would've worked how hard in the off season, and how we would've responded in close games / comebacks in the tourney this year.

It is about time that Roy was recognized for being a great coach! Peeps need to realize that to be great you have to be good at all aspects of coaching and he has proven the equal of all!

Congrats to Roy!
Go Tar Heels!

Well then, I hope you are REALLY pissed

Two Heels on Mount Rushmore...And only 4 spots available...I like that kind of consistent dominance. And we have a third coach with a title.

Oh yeah...Heels git it done tonight...
