Roy retiring

This is a sad day for college basketball. It’s a sad day for UNC, too....but like Roy, I don’t give a shit about Carolina.
In all seriousness, good for him. It sounds as though Roy doesn’t care much for the direction of college basketball....and I’m not sure many of us will fault him for that. He’s going to spend his golden years on the golf course, and I know I can certainly think of worse things to do.
Whether we care to admit it or not, he’s one of the best ever and left a clear stamp on college basketball. Best of luck to him in retirement, if true.
GTHC, GTH!

Maybe he sees the writing on the wall and the direction that college BB is headed...transfers, paying players, social media, and other elements have come to the forefront, so definitely not the game he entered with and maybe one he doesn't identify with. Players are different now as we know...probably a good time to say adios with the good memories. I wish anyone who retires the best as I am envious of their ability to do so!
i fault him. You really think Roy would be retiring if they were still academically frauding over there? But, player empowerment is where he draws the line?
Screw Roy Williams, he lied and cheated, I have no respect for that guy. UNC will be likable at this point moving forward.
Roy losing control over players is a cause for retirement, not decades of cheating (if you’re keeping score at home).
Roy not being able to keep players longer in college is correct. He knew this was the new trend and got out while he could, he can’t compete for a title without top talent staying and said screw it. Basically he left the ship to sink because he couldn’t get his way. What an honorable coach.
So is late night with Roy cancelled?
UNC likable? Have you been drinking before noon again?
Great hire by Texas. Program changing.
Don’t see Cronin leaving one blue blood for another unless there’s some UNC connection I don’t know about.
Nice timing on his part. Announce just before the Final Four so your talked about during the Final Four. Now you take attention away from the teams that won to be there. Gush - I guess Huckleberry will be in the Final Four after all.
I’ve seen Hubert’s name mentioned a bunch today. Seems that’s who Roy and a lot of current and former players will be pushing for. Question is will the boosters who are not former players go for Hubert or want a big name who’s not a former Tarheel.
If this was K leaving Duke then his wishes would carry a lot more weight I believe.
that’s interesting cause the media is saying it’s pretty much Wes Miller’s
I have no connections but if it’s a former Tar Heel then I feel it has to be Miller.
I can’t see it going to Hubert at this time.
If it’s not Wes, it’ll be from outside in my opinion.

NO!!!!!!!!!!! That always provided good material to use later.
I doubt Duke is spotless. But, What the Holes did takes cheating to a whole new level. 18 years of running a dept. not just a class , a whole dept. that let athletes get by with minimal/no work to bring their scores up. Athletes that read on a 3d grade level=this from the whisleblower that worked in that dept.
And then to just skate on it . The NCAA should never , ever , sanction any school again for anything .
I think the boosters will be looking to a former Tar Heel. They seem to prioritize that based off the past. Dean wanted majerus when they hired doherty but the boosters didn’t want to hire outside their family.
I will always hate them, no matter who their coach is !!!!!
OFC
Looks like Wanda washed Roy's tie with a bag of skittles.
