from a standpoint having absolutely nothing to do with UNC basketball, that is too bad.

sorry Roy.

3/15/2007 8:27:35 PM

Prayers go out to him. Rival or not, it sucks for him to lose a family member.

I mean, I fuck up sometimes, too... but this is ESPN...

wow, that's pretty sad

lets see if we can not make WRAL this time through the use of our comments

3/15/2007 8:28:03 PM

thats terrible. I'd like to know how old she was and if this was expected or not. I'd have to say it wasn't a huge shock if he's still coaching tonight. I know its the NCAA tournament but its the 16 v 1 game.

3/15/2007 8:30:19 PM

man that is too bad

3/15/2007 8:30:38 PM

how long do you think it takes until someone makes a bad comment..

OMG

i dont care

3/15/2007 8:33:14 PM

Pretty sad.... Royboy has always seemed like a good guy to me. One of the few Tar Heels I cannot hate

3/15/2007 8:35:35 PM

3/15/2007 8:42:33 PM

They didn't even say her name in the article...

RIP Roy William's sister

espn's article was all hidden and shit. the n&o article is just as ambiguous and short. i think maybe roy wanted it this way, so as to minimize the attention.

3/15/2007 8:49:47 PM

prayers go out to him and his family. Basketball is one thing, but someones life is another

3/15/2007 9:06:02 PM

Roy Williams is My second favorite ACC coach, even though I am a huge state fan (SID #1). I hope he manages to still spend some time with his family during this loss. Although, for me it was much easier to stay busy.

3/15/2007 10:16:42 PM

his job is about to die if hedoesnt win this game.

3/15/2007 10:17:24 PM

this would be great if they lose now to be the first #1 to lose to a 16 and to blow that huge lead
maybe roy will cry

3/15/2007 10:22:10 PM

sorry for roy, he seems like a good guy

3/16/2007 12:04:21 AM

yea, I mean, I constantly wish ill upon their basketball team (bad losses, mild injuries, etc) but never death of a family member or anything like that. I feel sorry for ol' Roy, its gotta be tough

3/16/2007 12:18:37 AM

Roy Williams is pretty old.

(The announcers said she was at an assisted living facility. Maybe she was sick in some way. I dunno.)

sorry Roy, stay well

3/16/2007 12:22:25 AM

<--- would not coach for a while

Whatever, aristotle is a duke fan. Don't lump him in with us.

3/16/2007 12:29:18 AM

haha, i know, i was just going for anyone in general.

3/16/2007 12:45:21 AM

she was his older sister, and she was suffering from alzheimer's.

3/16/2007 4:55:49 AM

exactly, she had been in an Assisted Living Home in Charlotte for a couple of years
