Roy Williams: Rare coaching missteps fueled retirement

Ойын-сауық

Hall of Fame coach Roy Williams details the decision-making process behind his April 2021 retirement, including advice from fellow Hall of Fame UNC coach Dean Smith, rare missteps during the 2019-20 season and pandemic-induced distance from his players. Coach Williams says the pandemic restricted typical team-building activities and offers his take on shifting priorities on the Tar Heels’ men’s basketball team, who appear to be more focused on gaining fortune and fame within the NBA than on winning a NCAA championship.

    As much as I already miss him, I'm glad he went out on his own terms! Coach has left such a mark on the program that'll never be overlooked and I'm just glad I got to watch him coach us to 3 National Championships. Thank you for everything Coach Williams! ❤

    Roy Williams is a true coach. Nevermind he won 3 titles, he connected with players and grew them like he was taught by Dean smith. The game has changed, one and done mentality of today’s players and business drive him out. Highest winning % ever, amazing career, sad to see money win and a good Coach has to step away rather then change his coaching style of connecting and growing players for the program not giving in to selfish kids. Times change.

Regardless his contributions to Carolina and College basketball will never be forgotten. We love you Roy 🐏🤍. As for his Son’s joke at 3:44 y’all need to relax 🤣. That was definitely a lighthearted joke with a little taste of sincerity.

    I agree. I don't like how much he beats himself up though. He explains all the issues of last season due to COVID and then's like "I made two bad calls that's how I knew". Who knows how good last year's team would have been with a proper off-season, with pick-up games and being able to properly gel off the court.

    I get the impression that Roy was pushed out by changing times in College Basketball. Sometimes you can tell how good a program is when the next coach is able to take what you built and make it better. His best team was 2008-2009, but I think his best coaching year was 2004-2005 because he worked through remaining players from previous coaches while he won his first time. The year after the retirement of Dean Smith in 1997 were challenging years until Roy brought the stability that UNC needed.

    A lot of kids who grew up rich or upper middle class think like Roy's son. I have seen it straight up. I'm 38 and I know some kids I grew up with who came from good backgrounds that have told me how excited they are to inherit their parents wealth when they pass away. I'm not saying it's right but a lot of wealthy kids think like Roy's son. They just won't openly admit it in public like Roy's son did but behind close doors they will.

He is an investment banker (I think in Charlotte) and his wife has her dr.'s degree in physical therapy. I'm pretty sure that Roy could call MJ and get shoes for life for his grand kids for free. If I know that, Scott knows that so I gotta figure he was either joking with his dad or picking at his dad and maybe both.

    Lindsay Bowen, You’re probably right. At the end of the day, it doesn’t mean a whole helluva a lot. But there’s something to be said about what we joke about. It’s like a stereotype.. they exist for a reason. Williams’ son took the odd opportunity to joke about his daddy passing up millions in endorsements. There’s a reason he thought we’d think that was funny. It fell flat. Mostly because I’m his moment of being funny, all we could think of was how he (the heirs) could no longer count his cash. Seriously though; I have no doubt that you are correct… just a kid trying to be funny. Did you not think it was odd?!

    He literally says "it's not right that students can't profit off their own name". He just adds some context which is completely fine. His point about how student-athletes now have to deal with the fact that the first-string stars are going to be making bank, while the second-stringers are going to be pulling in a grand total of $0 outside of their meal-and-housing subsidy. At least in the pros, the worst players have a base salary that's in the hundreds of thousands of dollars, so there's some level of equity in pay; the poorest players are still making decent cash. In the NCAA, you'll have guys that are struggling to pay their phone bills, while the starters are driving around in Maseratis that their agent bought for them.
