Roy coached 15 years at Kansas and now 13 years at UNC. In a combined 28 years of coaching at two blue-blood programs he's coached one NBA All-Star. One. That player was Paul Pierce and his final season in college was 1997-98. Today's high school seniors weren't even born then.

This, of course, just goes to show what a great coach Roy is. I mean, who else could win at an alarming rate with such marginal talent?

I've pointed this out before on the national board and subsequently been scoffed at by a few UNC fans, who retorted with "How many championships have Duke players won?" One is a sign of individual talent/growth, while the other is a sign of how good a team was (with or without the player in question). Those facts are lost on a segment of the UNC faithful.
JMM played a huge role in that G.S. championship two years ago. Huge. Kyrie went down in game one where he was putting on a clinic- he plays last year, you could argue they win it.

Harrison Barnes played a huge role in Cle winning it this year...too bad he played for GS. Kyrie played all 7 games this year. They won it.

I just saw this again and the "I'll make you an offer that will leave you confused" is absolutely hilarious, OaD. Ha haaa.

Gary with an all-time classic "UNC was heavy favorite for Carter" until Capel started negative recruiting....lol



Perhaps the real reason Carter is not going to unc is hof coach roy williams ask him are you planning on being one and done. Maybe Carter said yes hof coach roy williams I am. Then hof coach roy williams said then you can't play for me son. I can't think of any other reason. OFC

@mikeirbyusa on Gary's inside info: Gary shares what he hears. Don't like it then by all means don't read it. Yes he will be dead wrong at times but then again he is spot on at times too.

When has he ever been spot on? When something completely predictable happens and he takes credit for predicting it a month before? A mod giving credibility to unfounded "inside" information that contradicts reliable insider information from guys who are paid to do this for a living is just all around stupid. Then again, I guess I'm not surprised that one of their mods would engage in this sort of behavior. Blind leading the blind.

That thread is actually pretty funny. Gary is backtracking on what he said, even though people are posting what he said. It's fun.
It is not very difficult to look back on what people say on these boards. It is also pretty easy to backtrack without remembering what you types.

He is not correct on high profile, OAD types. UNC doesn't usually have much of a chance with those types these days.

Have I been taken in by this Gary-7 all this time. I mean I was taking what he was saying as gospel and now I find out he was a fraud. I feel so violated. OFC

To be honest, I don't doubt that Gary is probably privy to some good information. His problem is that he's just an a-hole in how he presents it. That's what most people don't like about him. In addition to that, his constant whining about how UNC is always getting screwed, whether it be by negative recruiting, $henanigan$, etc. is so tiresome. He's a joke....and one way to know when you're a joke is when basically your entire home board turns against you.

Like I've said many times, I hope he keeps posting forever and never changes. He's a delight to read if you're an outsider.

You forgot the winky faces. That way if something does happen he can claim he knew and if it doesn't, we'll the old i never said that, finds its way out. The guy is a joke. pure and simple.

It truly is pathetic.

It just eats away at the unc fans that Coach K is so successful. They keep TRYING and I capitalize TRYING to find some false fault in him and the only real thing they can come up with that is questionable is his profanity which is pretty much from the culture of the big city and some from his military background. I say culture of the big city because a few years ago DukeSky85 and I went to NYC to take in a couple of Yankee games. We went down to take a subway ride and there were a couple of NYC cops down there. I guess they could tell we were tourist because one of them looked at us and smiled and said " You guys going to the #%^#&*% Yankee game tonight. We told him yes were we. It seems he said have a great time.I didn't think that he was either Satan or Hitler at the time. I thought he was just a nice guy trying to be nice.

Hahaha....that thread is awesome. Their hatred for the guy is comical.
Saw this poor woman in a restaurant a few years ago that was going into labor. K pushed her out of the way to order and then Roy gave up his spot in line, strapped on some gloves and a smock he just happen to have on him and perform the birth. What a guy! This is a true story! winky face

Way back in 2004 (on his way to Greece to sabotage the men's olympic team so he could corner the one recruiting advantage anyone could possibly have) K stopped off in Iraq to form ISIS with his close personal friend Saddam and to lay the groundwork for the market crash of 2008.

I love this. One day Coach K was having lunch with a recruit . As they stepped out of the restaurant it was poring down rain. They stood out under the awning waiting for the rain to stop when they seen a poor soul walking down the street in the pouring rain. Coach K noticed that the sole on one of the man's shoes was loose and was flopping so bad that water was just gushing onto his bare foot. Coach stopped the man and took out a roll of money about 6 " in diameter with a nice thick rubber band around the money. Coach K took that rubber band off the money and handed it tot he man and said. " Wrap this thick rubber band around the sole and bottom of your shoe. It will help keep it from flopping so much." I got choked up when I heard this story and had a hard time posting it because of tearing up. Not many people would have even thought or done that. ;) OFC

From dadika13

"Agree with everything here.

I think Gary is a great poster and I've praised him repeatedly in the past for the info he gives us on our current players. Every month or so we get a great update post that gives us things that you'd have to be constantly walking around Chapel Hill to get (I think Gary has a team of minions scouring campus for us :)

Him and I disagree on the Daniels thing, it happens. Doesn't at all take away from someone who is a very solid contributor to the site."

Im laughing so hard at this post right now! Unbelievable! I rarely see when Gary-7 is right about anything. Lol

Holy s**t! When I started reading that I assumed it was one of those sarcastic joke posts. Then I realized it was from that dadika clown and it hit me that it was actually true. Lol.
