Roy Collapses on Sideline
- Thread starter krzyzewskiville
- Start date
I would settle for another 3 point buzzer beater, this time by GA.
Seeing Roy and K struggle with illnesses this year makes me respect these guys a lot more to continue fight through older age and any medical issues to coach their teams. They really love what they do and its a grueling profession.
This post should have nothing to do with past games, future games, or rivalries. It has to do with reality and should put things into perspective. A persons health is no joking matter, and I really hope the best for Roy Williams, he certainly does not deserve this.
I gave absolutely no thought to anything said from THR about "K", it only shows the ignorance of a few people, and I would certainly hope nobody on this site would stoop that low.
Hope for a speedy recovery for Coach Williams.
Go Duke!!

Knowing now that it's his typical vertigo spell, yes get well, it could get serious and I sincerely hope it ever does BUT Roy shook hands etc etc..... Move on, throw the suit coat on Roy.... K and the boys coming to town!!!!!
Not gonna catch me sending Dadgum Roy boy balloons and flowers on this one, sorry! GTHC

Heel fan here.
I appreciate the nice thoughts you all had regarding Roy and his recent bout of vertigo. Classy showing
Speaking for myself, I really hoped Coach K was okay from his apparent bout of elevated blood pressure. Certainly we're not perfect but my wish is that Heel and Blue Devil fans can compete hard but always treat each other in a classy way on the court and in chat rooms. That will be a point of emphasis for my own conduct.

Perhaps we need to disregard the term classy and just use common decency and concern for all our fellow man. OFC
Excellent post and 100% agree with your sentiment. You should post here more often.
PS: You a UT fan?
I went years without feeling this way but unfortunately the THR people have said enough bad about K and our players being thugs and douchbags that I really hope most of them get shingles and Irritable bowel syndrome at the same time. By most, its the usual Duke haters and we all know who they are. Thats the ones I really cannot stand and wish them nothing but the worst.
Now Heelvol sounds like a sensible person.

I'm sorry, but nobody here stooped so low as to mock Roy's health or to imply it was some kind of a ploy. Simply pointing out that it's common practice for a large portion of the unc fan base to do exactly that when coach K is involved does not equate to a lack of class. I would like to think that everyone here wishes well for the health of our fellow men, friend or foe. But let's not go too far with judging people who acknowledge the elephant in the room.
Kennedy Meeks demands an apology for your obvious microaggression.
Grew up in Tennessee, teenager (which shaped my sports allegiances to this day) during the years when UT football was king in the state's sports world. And that's also when I saw Worthy, Jordan, Dean Smith beating Ewing. Became a Heels hoops fan ever since. I respect K and the program for sure. Have my bouts of "hatred" towards the blue devils (at least twice a year
). But now that I'm middle aged fan, I see the big picture. Glad K and Roy get to keep coaching against each other but it looks like the end is coming (its year to year). Hope they both get to enjoy some years of leisure on the golf course (for Roy) and K (I don't know what hobbies he has...but at least spend time with grandkids). I personally think when (not if) team USA wins gold this summer, K might want to do the Elway and leave while on top. 5 rings, Olympic golds, most wins as head coach, turned Duke into a blue blood by himself, nothing left to build up his legacy.Good stuff. As a Tennessee native, I was raised on UT football. Really hope the Vols can live up to their considerable hype next season.Grew up in Tennessee, teenager (which shaped my sports allegiances to this day) during the years when UT football was king in the state's sports world.

What part of tenn mark? The Vols SHOULD be awesome next year and compete for a title IMO with what they have coming back.. My fiancés sister goes to UT and we all went to te UGA game this year which was awesome.. They play Bama at home this year and I plan to be there
I think 3 or 4 more rings would build up his legacy even more, don't you think??Grew up in Tennessee, teenager (which shaped my sports allegiances to this day) during the years when UT football was king in the state's sports world.

Originally from middle TN. I was at the home game against Arkansas this year. Glad we turned things around after that one. Praying that we stick it to Florida and Bama in Neyland this fall. We're beyond due to beat both.
Absolutely it would but its just hard to imagine any coach (and K is not just "any coach"), in this competitive environment, where there's so much talent and so many opportunities to be the man and go pro, for one team to dominate like UCLA/Wooden did. But back then, I've heard sports media say UCLA had ways to get talent to Westwood and Wooden just turned a blind eye. The talent disparity was overwhelming. Wooden's a great coach and teacher but let's be honest, he had many hall of fame players (NBA and college) who went four years there.
Next year, you guys will be strong contenders for #6 along with UK. just depends on the freshman. Man, I hate it you guys got Giles!

I know there are many more comments after yours but the clowns at THR were total jerks when K missed a game last week. Joking about how he is faking it again because Duke was just out of the top 25. Joking about his back surgery 20 years ago as if he was faking that one too. Total A holes. Wish Roy well myself, health wise, but those people are disgusting. If the same happened to K they would be a sick bunch of pathetic haters. Psychotic, twisted people over there.
Yep, everyone loves innocent and old *** looking Wooden but you here he was a pretty shady guy as well. He was the Cal of his day, simply overpowered everyone with talent, coaching doesn't matter so much.
Not me, just see too much of it from those clowns to let it slide. K was sick for the Tech game and it was nothing but those idiots laughing about it and saying that it was because Duke dropped out of the top 25. Referred to the back injury 20 years ago and make jokes about it. They are scumbags.
as a Tar Heel fan, I take no pride in any of what you observed on THR. But in the defense of Tar Heel fans, there have been some Blue Devil fans on other forums that made the same type of comments about Roy and his recent ailments. Again, my hope is that the majority of our collective fans take the high road and not let the baiters be the loudest voices. I think the majority of fans hope K and Roy are well but maybe not the majority of fans who take the time to post on forums.
