You have shown more dignity and class than some so-called UNC fans. Thank you. I think Williams is the epitomy of class and just showed support for a program that gave him his first head coaching job. For people to say that wearing a stupid pin influenced his decision making in the game, showed more loyalty to Kansas, etc is just plain ignorant and petty. Its not like he is going back to Kansas or something. Thanks for showing being open minded and unbiased in your comments. While I am not a Kansas fan, Kansas deserved the win and NC as they played the best basketball in the Final Four and took advantage of their opponets' weaknesses and mistakes. For any person to say that UNC had a poor season or "choked" is not looking at the overall picture. Best record in school history, ACC regular and Tournament titles, East Region Champions all say something. Yes, they played their worst half of basketball this year but Kansas played their best half of basketball at the same time. Remember that we are talking about 18-21 year olds here, not professionals. I am proud of the UNC players and Williams for a GREAT season and hopefully they will all return for another great run.
Another thing that has bothered me is that, unlike kansasgirl41, a lot of Kansas fans need to show more class and get over Williams leaving. Were you that critical and childish when Larry Brown took off for greener (money) pastures and left the program on probation. No one wanted the job except Williams and all he did was make Kansas better instead of the laughing stock it was. The only year Kansas did not make the NCAA Tourney was Williams first year as they couldn't go that year anyway. Fourteen years in a row, four Final Fours, plus putting Kansas back among the elite programs. Man, get a grip. What are Kansas fans going to say if Self leaves for the $6 million dollar bonus and $4 million dollar a year salary OSU is offering to coach his alma mater? This is not life or death but ultimately a just a game and in reality a business.
I am proud to be a college basketball fan and even prouder to be a UNC fan for 40 years. I wouldn't trade Williams for any other coach or bash this team for their accomplishments and closeness. There were 61 other teams that wished they were where UNC ended up in the Final Four, so let's all just enjoy the ride those kids and Williams gave all of us. We can't realistically expect perfection or a national championship every year. Live and learn from mistakes. Elite Eight to Final Four to NC if they all stay. Let's hope for the best. GO HEELS!!!
