Now that the basketball season is over, it is time to hand final year-end grades to the basketball coaches like we did for the football coaches. We are going to start at the bottom and work our way up giving grades to all 15 ACC Coaches, even * cough * if they are no longer employed. …

Remember this article from CBS Sports a few years ago? – Critical Coaches : Most overrated coaches in the country. Guess who topped the list – North Carolina coach Roy Williams. Well after Monday night, Roy Williams is a 3 Time National Champion. Only John Wooden (10), Mike Krzyzewski (5), and Adolph Rupp (4) have won more. …

I’ll have more thoughts on this game tomorrow, but I think this tweet sums it up very well. Congratulations to the Tar Heels and their fans on the National Title. Roy Williams now certainly stands among the best coaches of all time, if he didn’t before. UNC’s toughness has been tested for so long, by …

The Tar Heels are back in the Title Game game for the 2nd straight year. One thing that should come to an end is questioning Roy Williams coaching ability. He is one of the best of all time. That’s a fact. He’s been to 9 Final Fours, and 2 National Titles – with a chance …

Georgia Tech lost in the NIT Championship game 88-56 to TCU. The Horned Frogs were the better team. They spread Georgia Tech defensively out and seemed to knock down every open shot. It was a tough way for the Yellow Jackets to finish a 21-16 season. That said the loss shouldn’t take away from Josh …

As I followed along as Mark Emmert’s news conference this evening from the Final Four, I noticed a what seems to be a throw away topic. Emmert stated that Las Vegas “will not be eligible for this round.” This got me to thinking. Why does the president of the NCAA believe that Las Vegas will …

For a program unfairly or not that gets often gets questioned for it’s hearts, guts, and toughness, the North Carolina Tar Heels showed a ton of it against the Kentucky Wildcats in their Elite 8 win.
