Crothers: Roy Williams’ Five Month Lesson

Posted Feb 10, 2011
Roy Williams isn’t lost anymore. Just frustrated. He learned a lot during those five months between November and April. He’s seen that Duke-Carolina can be as fickle as the weather in San Francisco. If you don’t’ like what you see, just wait one half. On Wednesday night at Cameron, his Tar Heels outscore Duke by 14 points in the first half. Then his Tar Heels are outscored by 20 in the second.
