Roy updates his resume

Wow. Tarholes have become a protected class.


The college basketball world suffered a tremendous loss this past Thursday, July 26th with the untimely and shocking passing of Wake Forest basketball coach, kip Prosser. Rivalries were put aside as the ACC and the nation mourned a rilliant coach, but even finer human being. Duke, NC State and UNC fans briefly urned down the rhetoric to take time to reach out to their tobacco road brethern,Wake Forest University, to express their deepest simpathies and heart felt codolences.

Many coaches also sent their condolences to the Prosser family and Wake Forest University. Former NC State coach Herb Sendek offered “Skip was a gentleman and someone who represented what was good about our profession. He was the kind of person you wanted your son to play for.”. Current NC State coach Sidney Lowe added "My thoughts and prayers are with Coach Prosser's family and Wake Forest University. I have gained a lot of respect for Coach Prosser both as a person and as a coach. It is a tremendous loss for our conference and for college basketball.", as well as Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski's sincere statement "This is shocking. We lost o*ne of the best coaches and best people in our sport with the passing of Skip Prosser earlier today. Skip became a good friend during his six seasons as an ACC coach. He was ultimately respected for his coaching ability, his quick humor and, most importantly, for being a quality person. We lost him far too soon. We send our sincere condolences to the Prosser family and the entire Wake Forest University community."

Other coaches also joined in to state their support for the Prossers during this troubling time and for Wake Forest's faculty, alumni and fans. Including Georgia Tech coach Paul Hewitt “I was sitting with him yesterday in Orlando. He was just a great person. It’s so sad." and UNC basketball coach Roy Williams taking the occassion to make an ode to himself and his career "I am absolutely shocked and deeply saddened. Today the world has lost not just an outstanding basketball coach, but a great person and great friend. I was fortunate to be friends with him even before I came back to Carolina. Over these last four seasons there have been several occasions o*n which he was the first coach to call and offer his heartfelt congratulations. I¹ll always remember him calling after the 2006 season to say what a great job we had done after osing all the players from the championship team. That call meant so much to have come from another coach. This April, I heard from a hundred or so coaches after the Hall of Fame announcement, and Skip was the first to call.

Roy sounds as if Skip was a great man because he just happened to be the first to call Roy and tell Roy how great Roy is. He made more self-references in his comments than he made about Coach Prosser himself. I'm almost surprised he left out "Coaching in the ACC is a very stressfull job, I, myself had a recent bout with vertigo".

He said the word "I" five times, that's three more "I"s than the previous four coaches combined, and he threw in four career milestones 1) returning to UNC 2) winning the national title 3) the 2006 season and 4) the hall of fame. Though in this case I will vote for the "Hall of Shame", for using the passing of a colleague as an opportunity to update his resume. But, he did learn from the master.With the shenanigans Roy Williams pulled at Kansas and his constant whining about any part of his job that isn't self-serving, I was already convinced he was the perfect man to lead the UNC basketball program, but this, this is taking the "It's all about Roy" schtick too far.

 

Whoever runs that site must be seriously hard up for some Roy loving. Jeebs.

 

Sly was that asterix in K's statement a curse word? lol

 

his momma buys him a coca cola every afternoon

 

that article is a load of crap . some d-bag is really digging to make something out of nothing. I saw the same comments from Roy and didnt think any of it was self-serving.

 

Are you actually saying those were not his comments?

They were self serving without a doubt. Compare his comments to all the other coaches. No one else snuck in comments about their accomplishments. Why? Because it wasn't appropriate.

Roy is just a douche.

 

those were his comments but he was just naming the occasions on which Prosser called him- HOF and the 06' year. and he was saying that he was friends with Skip before he came back to the ACC. big fuckin deal

 

You don't think he could of just said, "I talked to Skip several times and this is why he will be missed...". Like every other coach did?

Roy actually says nothing personally good about Skip. Nothing at all.

I mean K could have said, "Skip came to the ACC during the period when Duke won 7 of 8 tournaments and yet we still managed to get along."

But he didn't. Because he isn't a douche. Like Roy.

 

I just don't think Roy is all that smart.

 

shoe on the other foot, and i guarangoddamntee you fuckers would be bitching. You bitched about the amex commercial and then out comes roy's coke commercial and you guys are like "but, it's true" and ******y ass shit like that.

fags.

sly's exactly right.

had coach k said:

skip called me to congratulate me when i was selected to coach team usa, man that was sweet, and then when i coached the all time acc leader in scoring, he called me to congratulate me then. boy that was nice, i'll have a coke. then when i coached another defensive player of the year, he called to say what i good job i did. he also called to tell me good job winning the acc tourney every year. man, that's what i'll miss about him. when he called me to tell me how important i am.



what the fuck is the difference?
