Dean would have more choke jobs with great talent in the tournament on his resume. Do the '77 finals or the '84 Sweet Sixteen ring a bell?

Which great teams are you referencing? The George Karl years?

I realize that since men’s basketball hasn’t been a strong program at UT in the past 4 decades that UT fans aren’t very knowledgeable about the sport, but there is a reason that coaches don’t like to play lineups full of freshmen. No matter how much hype they get coming out of high school, they generally don’t set the college ranks on fire. They have a lot to learn, they turn the ball over way too much, and they aren't strong enough to battle on the boards against juniors and seniors. ANY coach that can have freshmen play as many minutes as UNC has this year and have the kind of year that they’ve had deserves the National Coach of the Year award.

Minutes played by Freshmen This Year

Carolina

Tyler Hansbrough – 772
Bobby Frasor – 718
Marcus Ginyard – 500
Danny Green – 409
Mike Copeland – 45

Total for UNC – 2,444 minutes, (95.2 minutes per game, or 47.6% of ALL MINUTES)
UT

Ryan Childress – 163
Ben Bosse – 32
Justin Jackson – 5
Tanner Wild – 5

Total for UT – 205 (11.3 minutes per game, or 5.7% of all minutes)

I'll vote for Roy this year when Steve Fisher is retroactively given the award for the '91-'92 season.

He prolly would have gotten it if he had coached more than 6 games that season. :lol:

Nevermind..I was thinking 89...memory is bad..either way Fisher had to forfeit all those wins from 92 and up anyway.

it's no crime if Roy gets it....he's really done a good job when you go back and read pre season stuff on UNC, compared to where they are now.....pretty impressive.

and they've been hot the past month or so, and we've been sporadic. if we win the SEC tourney, i think he still has a shot at it, but right now, based on what the whole nation saw on Saturday night, Roy gets it...right or wrong, good or bad, that'll be the way it is.

We haven't lost to anyone as bad as Virginia, Miami, or USC.

i would agree with that....the reality is that what CBP has done in Knoxville, is pretty much miraculous, given the time span he's done it in.

but we weren't on national TV Saturday night holding JJ Reddick to one of his worst games ever, beating the #1 team in the nation, on thier court, on Senior night. UNC was, and Roy was there leading the way....perception does not always coincide with reality. But you can't say the guy hasn't earned the pub he's getting...he's done a really good job.

I don't really see any way that Roy won't win it now after Saturday night's game.

Had UT continued to win, then Pearl had a legitimate shot to contend with Roy. However, UT stumbled down the stretch. Regarding how hard Roy's year must have been, though, you need to get your facts straight. There are only 3 McDonald's All-Americans on the Tarheels this year, and all 3 of them are freshmen. Two of those 3 guys are starters because of vacancies left on the roster from players that left early to go to the NBA. The leading returning scorer from last year's team averaged just over 3 points per game last year, so YES, Roy has had a difficult season.

You have proven you know less about college basketball than football.

Roy Williams lost really good players and added a class full of really good players.

UT lost decent players and added even less.

You have no clue

Come back to this board after they've announced Roy as the winner and you'll get a chance to admit that YOU'RE the one with absolutely no clue!

Whether he's announced as the winner or not isn't the point. The point is Pearl deserves the award over Roy and his talent filled roster.


Here's a clue for you

Nov 7, 2005

AP ranks North Carolina 35

UT is not ranked in the top 50

Oct 24, 2005
USA TODAY/ESPN ranks North Carolina 36

UT is not in the top 50


Pearl has done more with less than Roy Williams ever thought of

Go back to the ACC and take RV with you. You have proven more than once your a bandwagon fan

Not my point. I like attitude. We need more of it in our football program and on this board.
