Hatz Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Nothing happened because he was not charged with a DWI because he was below the legal limit of .08 BAC. He was charged with misdemeanors due to state law prohibiting anyone under the age of 21 from driving after drinking any amount of alcohol. He was also charged for driving with a suspended license. I thought Roy suspended him a game or so early this year. So he didn't have any team discipline? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCPATS Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 If that is your assessment, where would Dean Smith fall into that catagory? He had been coaching what, 20 years, when he won the title in '82? I think to evaluate a coach based on NCAA Titles is a tough thing. Is John Thompson less of a coach because he lost 2 titles to a bad pass and a red hot Villanova team? I think Williams is a very good coach but it hasn't translated into NCAA titles through the years. :thumb: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polarbear1994 Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 As much as this will irritate the UK faithful, I would like to see a Duke v. Carolina National Championship game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earth's Savior Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 We'll see, I think Duke will win the ACC but UNC will have there hands full in the ACC. They'll be fine but everyone will be after them since they are the talk of America.:thumb: I don't know if Duke will win it or not, actually kind of nervous because they have to play Wake twice, and of course UNC twice. They sweep those games wow. :clap: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I'll be crucified here for this comment, but I think Smith did less with more than anyone is college coaching history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not a UC UNC or a UC Duke final? Where is you're loyalty bearman?:lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They sweep those games wow. :clap:[/quote'] If they sweep those games they deserve a clap. Thats rough. I wouldn't put it past the Dukies to win the ACC. I dont think they arethe most talented but they lay very well as a team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColonelCrazy Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Nothing happened because he was not charged with a DWI because he was below the legal limit of .08 BAC.

So he did not get a DUI, but instead 2 misdeameanors? And still no action taken by the school or Roy Williams? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bball500 Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 It is college basketball and anything can happen. It takes a lot of luck to make it through the tourny, but North Carolina is one of the most talented teams in the country and could very well do so. But unless they make a first weekend exit from the tourny, there is really no reason to be disappointed in Williams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wireman Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Roy Williams is a great coach (probably top 5 in the country). His success can't be measured in national titles. That's asking too much in today's game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dean Smith had as much talent over a period of 10 to 15 years except for John Wooden and he was close to his talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dean Smith had as much talent over a period of 10 to 15 years except for John Wooden and he was close to his talent. In just terms of future NBA talent that either became All-Stars or played on NBA title teams I can think of these: Charlie Scott Bob Macadoo Larry Brown Mitch Kupchak Phil Ford Walter Davis James Worthy Al Wood Sam Perkins Michael Brad Daugherty Herbert Davis Rick Fox George Lynch Eric Montross Rasheed Wallace Jerry Stackhouse Antwan Jamison Vince Carter Out of that he won 2 NCAA titles. One in '82 with probably his best starting five and '93 with a deep team that had great role players and were deep. He did make 11 Final Fours I think. Just food for thought. :clap: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigSpikes Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Coach Williams always coaches his teams up in the regular season and then CHOKES in the tourney. Makes you wonder if he is nothing more than Ron Zook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
