UNC Basketball Coach Roy Williams Vents At Angry Radio Show Callers

(By Glenn Davis, SportsGrid) - These aren’t quite the best of days for the storied North Carolina basketball program. They appear much improved this year (13-5, 3-1 ACC) over their tremendously disappointing 20-17 mark (5-11 ACC) from last season, but they’ve still been up-and-down, and up-and-down just doesn’t suit some of the team’s more demanding fans. After a recent loss to Georgia Tech, a few fans let coach Roy Williams know it…and after rebounding with a win over Clemson last night, Williams let the haters know what he thought of them.

USA Today said that fans “questioned [Williams'] defensive tactics and starting lineup,” according to the coach. After the Clemson game, it was Williams’ turn:

“My radio call [show] last night stunk; everybody was talking about how they were Carolina fans for 9 million years and how bad we are; I don’t give a [darn] how long you’re a Carolina fans, those are kids in the locker room, and they played their buns off tonight.

[...]

Don’t call me next week and say how good we are; keep your [darn] phone calls to yourself.”
