Roy Williams Credibility Watch

You all are way too bearish on Roy as a coach, by the way. Not the best, but he's got a solid system and style of play that maximizes his great athletes. I mean the last 3 years are pretty bad (32,27,15) but overall great results even adjusting for program level. He's great at speeding/opening games up and letting his superior athletes play volleyball on the offensive glass. It's a real system that works, not just rolling the balls out, not any UNC coach would do it the same way. Now that said, he obviously makes hilarious game management blunders that are easy for even casual fans to lol at. He'd be a terrible NBA coach. But in college he's got a unique/cool/effective system and has a lot of positives as a coach (not just recruiting).

It's like if Roy was a large asset manager running a sizable fund....he's got a pretty solid strategy for picking securities, he just has terrible execution methodology. He's constantly telegraphing his orders to the market, impatiently crossing over huge bid/ask spreads. Always paying to execute. That's going to cut into profits, but you'll probably take it over an asset manager that is just so-so at the actual stock picking but always gets the best price at execution, you know?


Yep, not being a great game coach doesn't mean he's just resting his hat on recruiting.
