Roy Williams Underappreciated? Never More So Than By His Own Fan Base

Posted Sep 10, 2013
The incredible success UNC has experienced under Roy Williams, especially from 2005-2009 and 2011-12, means very little to the fan base when a season doesn't quite live up to expectations. Some of this is rooted in fan nature, and in Chapel Hill the level of expectation is always sky high. Failure to live up to those expectations makes people crazier than an ant on a hot plate.
