But from a completely objective standpoint, your observations can be summed up easily in one word: WRONG.<br /><br />I'll address you points one at a time: <br /><br />1.) We have played some games better than the we did at the beginning of the season. However, that is like saying, "I'm older than I was a few minutes ago." It may be true, but it sure doesn't mean much. We may be somewhat better than earlier in the season but that's not saying much.<br /><br />Also, don't know if you remember, but we lost to TX.<br /><br />2.) The ACC is historically the best or one of the best conferences, but 9 out of 10 doctors would agree that this is a down year for the ACC. A really down year.<br /><br />3.)Roy will NOT have us in the Sweet 16 because of anything that Drew or McDonald do. Drew is not, was not, and will never be a shooter. He is a point guard that can't shoot well. McDonald is role player, who happens to be our best shooter. Beyond occasionally hitting some open 3s, I don't think he'll be "in control" of much. <br /><br />Good talk, we'll see ya out there.<br /><br /><br />Sincerely, <br />The NIT Selection CommitteeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3538159334790759434.post-74731399125605967752011-01-17T19:57:37.176-05:002011-01-17T19:57:37.176-05:00Final 4 might be a little much, but I agree with t...Final 4 might be a little much, but I agree with the spirit of the last post.<br /><br />It's early. Sure, we went down last night, but Georgia Tech played really well. If we can get a win tomorrow, we'll be 3-1 in conference. With a young team, that's pretty good.<br /><br />I don't know how far we'll go, but I think we can make the tourney.

The recent posts reflect how fair weather some of our fans are.<br /><br />If you really were a UNC fan, you would know how well we've been playng lately (See Kentucky and Texas). The ACC is an awesome conference- pretty much the best ever. And we are 2-1 in conference play with a very young team.<br /><br />Coach Williams will have us in the Sweet 16, maybe Elite 8 once Drew finds his shot. And once Roy lets MacDonald have more control, we could be in the Final 4.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3538159334790759434.post-33129179262435123162011-01-17T19:29:46.686-05:002011-01-17T19:29:46.686-05:00The last two posts are spot-on.

Worse, he'll have another year to make Barnes worse than he's already managed to make him.<br /><br />I'm glad people are starting to question the Heels' coaching. Roy is certainly a great coach, a Hall of Famer. But he needs to adapt. He doesn't have the same team he used to have. If he doesn't change, we will continue to be mired in muck.<br /><br />This is a sham. And a mockery.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3538159334790759434.post-71392037303882619522011-01-17T19:18:46.716-05:002011-01-17T19:18:46.716-05:00I agree (somewhat) with Anonymous 7:00pm, in that ...I agree (somewhat) with Anonymous 7:00pm, in that I question Roy's coaching decisions. I mean, its a huge mistake to pull your second string when they are playing well, hitting shots, and digging your starters out of a dreadful hole. And its even a bigger mistake to do it twice in a row - in the first half (much less, a third time in the second half). What the H is Ole Roy thinking? <br /><br />The only way he can win is if he has an NBA point guard. Neither Drew 2 nor Marsh has that kind of ability. Drew is a lost cause. Marsh may eventually be serviceable. But Roy has to figure out a game plan. Neither of those amateurs will ever be Felton or Lawson. And Roy will never have a game plan. We're F'd. <br /><br />Right now we have a bunch of "Talented" players. Has Roy made them untalented? I know for a fact that Roy has made Barnes worse than he was in High School. <br /><br />Nothing more to say. I'm depressed. <br /><br />Yours truly, <br />Matt "D'Bag" DohertyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3538159334790759434.post-78838496600064105442011-01-17T19:00:43.915-05:002011-01-17T19:00:43.915-05:00Tudor, you're nearly as stupid as Roy himself ...Tudor, you're nearly as stupid as Roy himself (if that's even possible).<br /><br />The Heels were better coached in '01-'02, their record notwithstanding.<br /><br />As everyone knows, Roy can't coach. If you give him 4 or 5 first-rounders, he'll win you a title 15% of the time. <br /><br />Still, recruiting isn't coaching. Worse, his "offense" (run down the court as fast as you can after a defensive rebound) only works with an NBA point guard (Felton and Lawson qualify. Larry (Yikes!) Drew II does not).<br /><br />Roy is a tremendous am(ateur).<br /><br />Coach K is a tremendous douche. I hate him. But the man can coach.<br /><br />If Duke wins again this year, I may slit my wrists.<br /><br />UNC - we are a football school.
