Facebook Creator Mark Zuckerberg Meets With Roy Williams, Coach K

... and his 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 ...

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

... 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 three minutes to go. He even made a joke about how if they were playing Virginia the next day he would make it 66-60 instead of 86-80. It is easy to criticize as fans and as the media, however, it is also easy to forget that teams practice these types of situations all the time. The way that Roy has conditioned this North Carolina squad, as he has many of his teams, is how to overcome adversity without using timeouts. Near the end of his statement, Roy did say: “One year we played Billy Tubbs when we won at – maybe it was TCU. Yeah, I think it was…so I made it 96-90. And we beat the dog ...

Roy Williams Speaks Again On House Bill 2

... 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.”. HB 2 caused the NCAA to relocate the games, as well as  six other championship events , from North Carolina for the 2016-17 academic year. The NCAA said the bill’s provisions eliminating LGBTQ civil ...

The ACC had nine teams in the tournament and UNC is the only team still playing. Were you surprised to see the league struggle like it did. “Yes and no. I still think we were the best league, but it makes no difference. If you play at the end of the year, everybody says yes. Last year we had four teams in the Elite Eight, two teams in the Final Four, and everybody said by far that the ACC was the best league in the country. If you go back before the NCAA Tournament started, we were ranked third or fourth, but we played better in the NCAA Tournament and people said good things about us. We didn’t play as well this year, didn’t get as far, and people are going to say negative things.”. What were the biggest reasons for the 17 turnovers against Arkansas. “That’s part ...

Roy Williams Has Never Quite Gotten His Due, But He's Outdoing Even Himself At Unc

... league title for the second consecutive year. But even if North Carolina loses its final two regular-season games to Virginia (Monday) and Duke (Saturday), the Tar Heels will still be nothing less than ACC co-champions - which means Williams has now won ACC regular-season championships eight times in the past 13 years. That’s eight ACC titles in 13 years. Mike Krzyzewski has two in the same timeframe. And that sentence is not designed to discount the greatness of Krzyzewski. He’s the GOAT, far as I’m concerned, based on the fact that he’s won five national titles in three different decades, built Duke into the biggest brand in college basketball and maintained it with different rosters and different styles. He’s tremendous. So when I write that Williams has won eight ACC regular-season titles in the past 13 years while Krzyzewski has only won two, I don’t want you to wonder what’s wrong with ...

What Roy Williams And His Players Had To Say After The Uk-north Carolina Game

... to text some of the things they said. How much does it mean to you to get back and have a chance to finish what they couldn’t do last year. ROY WILLIAMS: You know, last year was a heartbreaker to say the least. And to have someone like Marcus make that kind of shot, I even told Michael Jordan after the game, I said, if we’d have gotten it into overtime, your shot to beat Georgetown would not have been the most famous shot in basketball history at North Carolina any longer. So it was a heartbreaking thing, but you have to congratulate Villanova. They made a big time play, and it doesn’t help your hurt any. And I did try to challenge the kids in the locker room that night to later in the next couple of weeks - Isaiah Hicks tried to take blame for the shot, and it wasn’t even his man that he was trying to help somebody else guard. One of the few times, maybe the only time, I’ve ...

Roy Williams Rips Trump’s ‘bs’ In Response To Boeheim’s Acc Dig

... the tournament, Williams begged to differ. Don’t forget your roots, Williams said. New York is nice, but it’s not the end-all. It’s value as a media capital has been lessened through social media, especially when “our president tweets out more (BS) than anybody.”. So take that, Boeheim. “This is America. Everybody’s got the right to their opinion. I don’t agree with [Boeheim],” Williams said after his top-seed Tar Heels beat Miami, 78-53. “I love moving the tournament around. I think it’s good. But the Masters was played at Augusta National. 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 ...

Roy Williams' Philosphy On Calling Timeouts

... are any number of reasons to call a timeout in basketball. A coach might want to stop an opponent’s momentum or try and take the crowd out of the game or maybe just to reset his offense or defense at a crucial time. Jim Valvano used to call timeouts just to mess with the other coach. Dean Smith saved them like pieces of gold, making sure he had them at the end of the game when he might need them most. Roy Williams has come under fire since North Carolina’s semifinal loss to Duke last weekend when Williams waited and waited to call a timeout just as Duke took control of the game. So when he addressed the media Tuesday to talk about the NCAA tournament, he was more than ready to talk timeout philosophy. Or theory. Or whatever the blankety-blank-blank you want to call it. Williams’ ideas on timeouts are deeper and more thought out than you might imagine. “I call them when I want to,” he said. And there you have it. That’s the whole Roy Williams viewpoint on when a coach should call a timeout. Of course, it took him 15 minutes to fully explain. “What my philosophy is is the same dadgum philosophy I’ve had for 29 years,” he ...
