Heels make good on promises

Posted Apr 5, 2009

In the first half Saturday, Roy Williams asked for just one stoppage, a 20-second timeout with 2:25 to play. But if he had really been on top of his game, he would have stopped the action when the clock dipped under 7 minutes. That’s when he should have thrown up the “TO” signal, asked his players to break out their digital cameras and let them capture the message of redemption on the scoreboard. (Fayetteville Observer)
