Roy Williams Speaks Again On House Bill 2

... in 2001 due to the Confederate flag being flown at the state capitol building. “It means different things to different people, but a lot of people see it as a racial insult to see that flag flown, so (the NCAA) moved out of there,” UNC history professor Matthew Andrews said. NCAA events returned in 2015 after the flag was taken down — but protesters said they wanted the NCAA to know they were still there. NCAA vice president of men’s basketball championships Dan Gavitt condemned the flag in a statement Sunday. “We are committed to assuring that our events are safe and accessible to all,” Gavitt said. “No symbols that compromise that commitment will be permitted to be displayed on venue property that the tournament controls.”. Andrews said the Greenville games show how sports and politics align. “People have been saying for 100 years that sports and politics can’t mix — that sports are a respite from politics, they’re an escape from politics and this is why we like them,” he said. “But anyone who says that just is not paying attention.”. ...

Roy Williams Postgame

... “But it was two completely different games, but he was our only guy inside that was scoring. I mean, I looked down there and I see that Isaiah's 1-for-12, Joel 2-for-14. So we needed more offense from Kennedy tonight than we have a lot of games. And I think he stepped up and did that. I just thought he was just sensational around the basket, not only on the offensive boards but on the defensive boards both. I'm sure he's got tremendous focus as a senior and he wants to keep playing. But so do the other guys and so do the other teams. A lot of times it's just are you playing well and that was one specific night.”. What goes through your mind when you're in the last five seconds and you watch your players miss four straight free throws. ROY WILLIAMS: “Oh, jump off the building, something like that. (Laughter). Something's going on. You know, if you go back and look at it, on our defense, we were playing pretty well defensively except we were fouling them. They made 15 free throws in the second half. They're 15-of-16. And in the stretch where we had it to 10, it got down to four ...

Facebook Creator Mark Zuckerberg Meets With Roy Williams, Coach K

... team. Williams during his weekly radio show spoke highly of Zuckerberg's visit. Williams said that during his coaching career he's met presidents and celebrities, but that he'd never shaken hands with someone worth $56.7 billion. That sort of money, Williams said, would buy a lot of rounds of golf. Zuckerberg is traveling around the country to complete his annual “personal challenge,” as he described it in a Facebook post on Jan. 3. In recent years, those challenges have included things like running 365 miles, or reading 25 books. This year Zuckerberg's challenge is “to have visited and met people in every state in the US by the end of the year.” To complete that challenge Zuckerberg wrote he'd need to travel to about 30 states this year. Monday, apparently, was North Carolina's turn. Zuckerberg is doing this “to get out and talk to more people about how they're living, working and thinking about the future,” he wrote in his Jan. 3 post. And so he met on Monday with Williams and Krzyzewski and talked about those kinds of things. Specifically, ...

Roy Williams' Dadgum, Blankety-blanking Vocabulary Keeps Players Laughing

... get,” White said. “Old-timer things that we have to look up. If he tries to talk about Twitter, he’ll say Tweeter or stuff like that. “There’s definitely a generation gap between us, but he’s a great coach to play for. That’s what we love about him is that he’s always genuine, he speaks his mind and he doesn’t beat around the bush.”. As good as Williams is about not swearing, every once in awhile he’ll get irritated and slip up. The most egregious example came live on CBS when reporter Bonnie Bernstein asked him about the North Carolina job minutes after his Kansas team lost to Syracuse in the 2003 national title game. “I could give a s— about North Carolina right now,” Williams responded. “I’ve got 13 kids in that locker room that I love.”.

Coach K, Roy Williams Reiterate Opposition To North Carolina Bathroom Bill

... weekend’s NCAA tournament games were not supposed to be played here. Originally awarded to Greensboro, N. C., the first and second round games were moved by the NCAA as a result of the state of North Carolina’s controversial House Bill 2. The law prevents cities and counties from passing protections based on sexual orientation and gender identity. And public schools must require bathrooms or locker rooms be designated for use only by people based on their biological sex. North Carolina is facing the very real possibility of having its championship events pulled for the 2017-18 academic year, too, and due to the timeline of the bidding process process, could very well be unable to host through 2022. The NCAA has said it will not host championship events in the state until HB 2 is repealed — and repeal efforts appear to have stagnated. HB 2 was signed into law by Republican Gov. Pat Mc Crory back in 2016. He was not re-elected in November. N. C. ...

Celebrating Roy Williams, The Man Who Forced Dallas' Leaders To Look More Like Dallas' Population

... rights leaders who challenged, verbally jostled with and rankled the powers that be. Roy Williams, 74, co-plaintiff in suit that created Dallas' 14-1 City Council system, led to election of minorities. Williams and Crenshaw had the audacity to make their voices heard — and in the process changed Dallas in profound ways, bringing more minorities to serve on the council, boards and commissions. A city government that had been run by whites was now more reflective of its growing minority population. Their landmark 1988 suit led to Dallas' 14-1 single-member City Council system, underscoring lessons about about the importance of the courts in protecting voters' rights. Those are lessons Texas is still struggling to learn today. Voters' rights continue to be front and center here. Just look at the debate over gerrymandering playing out right now in Austin. District lines are too often drawn to represent the interests of elected officials, not the voters they serve. For many, Williams was the most visible reason that minority communities and issues important to them got attention at City Hall. He helped fight police brutality. He protested ...

Augusta’s not a very big town. We keep taking the tournament back there. I still think it’s good for us to move around. I loved Washington, D. C., last year. New York is doing a great job. I love Greensboro.”. Williams, born in North Carolina, stressed his home. More On. Duke just made a major statement. “Don’t ever forget your roots,” Williams said. “We have tremendous history in this league. But Jimmy’s got the right to have his opinion.

Roy Williams Addresses Timeout Criticism During Pre-ncaa Tournament Press Conference

... the ball, while either losing a lead or failing to recover from a deficit. Roy Williams was asked about this at Tuesday’s press conference. He was asked this question following the 83-90 loss against Duke Friday in the ACC Tournament semifinal game and then again on his radio show Monday. Roy decided to take a more thorough approach toward answering the question during this most recent presser. To paraphrase it all in his own words: “Find something damn original to think about. I’ve been criticized for 29 years for not calling timeouts and I’m still 5’10 ½. That part ain’t changing, either.”. Roy then spoke for about six minutes on the issue and addressed how he prepares his players for situations where a timeout could come into play. He explained his stance on calling timeouts by telling a story. “I had a player one time tell me, coach, you call a time out, I’m going to panic,” Coach Roy explained. “I don’t want my players panicking.” He then talked about a very specific in-game scenario he creates every practice where the team is down by 6 points and have to come back from the deficit with ...
