Roy Williams gets mad, Heels respond

Posted Dec 19, 2011
Roy Williams has been known at times to show displeasure with his starters' effort by pulling them en masse to send a message. Sometimes, he does this in big contests, such as at home against Duke in 2006 or at Kentucky a few years ago. The intent is to blast home the point to the first five that going through the motions won't be tolerated. It usually works, as it did Monday night against Nicholls. (Fox Sports South)
