I just want to say, and I'm an old----old Dookie: Roy showed real class by sending flowers to the Dawkins Family.
Thank you, Coach

The ousting of an opposing fan for merely taunting a UNC player is pretty spineless and ultra-sensative on Roy Williams' part. I am curious as to the reaction of the Carolina faithful if Coach K stops the game and has a Tarheel fan removed for heckling when UNC and Duke play in Durham later this season? I am sure the UNC alumni would have an absolute fit and perhaps well-known Carolina fan President Obama would step in to have the Duke coach terminated. But this is not the first instance of lack-of-backbone on the Chapel Hill campus.

This past spring when an anti-illegal immigrant group led by former Colorado representative and secure-borders advocate Tom Tancredo attempted to hold a forum at the university, college officials sat idly by as handful of screaming, violent pro-illegal leftists were allowed to disrupt the meeting, run Tancredo off the stage (and deny him his First Amendment rights to free speech), and inflict property damage and injure a police officer when the anarchists resisted arrest. Then, last December saw the university capitulate to a handfull of pagans and non-Christians who demanded the annual Christmas tree be removed from the UNC library, even though the vast majority of students and citizens wanted it to remain standing. Finally, in the most disturbing example of weakness, UNC incoming freshmen were required by the university to read "Approaching the Koran" in the summer of 2002 to expose the students to the wonderful "religion of peace" and to perhaps extend a hand of friendship and understanding to the area Muslim community. It is noteworthy that the university did this less than one year after Islamic terrorists slaughtered over 3,000 innocent Americans in New York, D.C., and the fields of Pennsylvania. The result: In 2006, a Muslim UNC student, Mohammed Reza Taheriazar, drives his SUV through the crowded UNC pit on campus with the intent of "killing as many Americans as possible." The enraged Jihadist almost succeeded, as he hit and injured 6 UNC students. Again, the university did not address this terrorist act and has pretty much swept it away from all memory.

Roy Williams' childish antics during the Presbyterian game are laughable, ESPN and talk show fodder, but they do shed light on a culture of hyper-sensativity, weakness, and political correctness that oozes from the most liberal college campus east of the Mississippi.

I'm a Carolina fan, but I've got to say:
Roy, grow a set.

As a fellow Carolina fan, I agree, whether that means shrugging off obnoxious fans or apologizing after losing his cool and acting foolishly.

Well we can see who the Duke fans are here!!!.............This guy needed to be removed, take a look at the game........he was a troublemaker.....All you poor duke fans need to watch the game before opening you mouths!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't recall it ever being published just what the 'fan' was shouting. Taunting is OK, some language is not.

I had a long conversation with Denise Ginyard, the mother of Marcus Ginyard, last night. She attends every game and was only a few seats away from the fan in question. She is a classy lady, well educated, and I believe her account of the incident. She told me that the fan was screaming profanities and being very disruptive. She said it was easy to hear him and he was especially vocal about Deon. She said she heard him use the F word several times. She said she did not know if he was intoxicated or not but that she thought it was the right thing to do to have him removed. I do not think Roy would have a fan removed for simply shouting "miss it Deon". In the video you can clearly see the players turning around to look into the stands. That to me indicates the fan is saying something out of the normal or accepted. I think Roy did the right thing based on what I know.

No one would have heard whatever he said if there had been some fans there cheering for their team. We're up 30 lets go, no need to support them anymore tonight. You see the players looking into the stands because their coach is pointing and telling a fan to "shut up". As for the parents...You want your kids to play in the NBA, and you are going to be upset from heckling? If your kid makes it I believe the heckling is a small price to pay for the ridiculous $$$ you'll be receiving for playing a game. Suck it up! I believe Sam Cassell may have been right. (Wine and Cheese Crowd...or was it Whine and Cheese...whatever)

My problem with this whole episode is that it took the N & R 6 days to publicly post anything about it. (Only found in blogs before today) Lends credence to the thought that only positive stories about UNC. If it was such a "non-issue" then why did Coach Williams choose to make it one? If is it true what Ginyard's mom says, then that should have come out too... Security should do their job, though, not the Coach... Williams hides behind that "aw shucks" crap way too much... While a great coach, he seems arrogant, egotistical, and in this case, he was clearly upset with what happened in NYC (WWAAAA!!!!) and took it out against a Presbyterian fan... Geez!!!!
