Roy Williams: "I Can't Even Fathom" Job Jim Calhoun Did at UConn

I know we pick on him a lot on here, but my respect level for Cryin' Roy went up quite a bit after reading that.
 
Let's see if he puts his money where his mouth is regarding scheduling Uconn in the future. I'm sure that call will be coming from Manuel/Ollie, if it hasn't already.
 
I dislike the narrative here, that UConn was a college athletic backwater until JC, and one may assume it will return to that status now that he's gone.
 
Billy Packer was invited??? Did he accuse any of the UConn players of "carrying" the golf ball too? Too bad Chris Smith wasn't there! LOL
Obviously you missed my post prior to yours. Great minds think alike.

Ha, I missed it... Once I read the article, I just had to post without reading any others. But really Packer and all the grief he's given UConn over the years? Never would have guessed he would have been invited.

Funny thing was I was almost going to leave out the part about RW and just post about Packer and Chris Smith. :)

I kinda forgot the article was more about Good Ole Roy on Calhoun & Ollie! Funny how seeing one particular name in an article, the rest of the article was forgotten.... :eek:

And that is the essence of how mankind thinks for better or worse. I used to get upset when someone instructing someone else purely for the sake of learning could not understand that there are more than one way to categorize things. And then I realized I was miss categorizing these people. They lacked flexibility which of course I also lacked regarding them in this situation. That's the negative way of looking at it of course. The positive way is that none of us can think of all the iterations of possibilities which means the collective mind has a value over the individual mind particularly when the collective mind learns to listen to the individual mind which occasionally observes something the collective mind misses.

It's just weird that two people went to the Billy Packer, Chris Smith thing so quickly.
 
I know Roy's rep is that he is the aw shucks guy to the public and an balloon knot in private but can't say anything bad about him after saying that about JC.
 
Oldies like myself may recall that we played bb before 1986. We won c'ships even if it was the Yankee Conf. We even played in the Dance a number of times, once reaching the East Regional Final. One of our players even led the nation in Boards and later had an NBA career playing briefly with the C's. Roy may have not known about this.:)
