UNC head coach Roy Williams: Trump tweets 'more bull---- than anybody I've ever seen

University of North Carolina men's basketball head coach Roy Williams doesn't seem to be a fan of US President Donald Trump's Twitter activity.

After UNC beat Miami 78-53 on Thursday in the ACC Tournament, Williams was asked about the impact of the tournament taking place in New York could have on recruiting or media attention. The question was seemingly in reference to a rant from Syracuse head coach Jim Boeheim on Wednesday on the importance of the tournament being held in a big city, as opposed to Greensboro, North Carolina.

Williams said because of the impact of social media, it's less important to play in a big market. In the process, he took a swipe at Trump

Dean Smith must be turning in his grave.

I assure you he is not. You must not remember Dean's politics, but I do. He was a giant liberal.

Don't even get me started on the decades-long sham of fake classes for athletes at UNC, all the while with Dean, and later Roy, claiming that Carolina did it the right way..."The Carolina Way."

Dean's Myth, indeed.

Doubt he has to be a Liberal. Duke,UNC are Liberal territory.

Coach K is a conservative who did criticize Obama.

If North Caroline doesn’t get the death penalty I don’t know why that penalty is on the books. Pure and total academic fraud across the spectrum for their student athletes and the NCAA has sat on this for what five years now? Some universities are eventually going to have to file suit against the NCAA for blatant discrimination on the way they handle complaints.

If this were the University of Kentucky in basketball or the University of Alabama’s football team they would have been road kill 4 1/2 yrs ago.

Old Roy loves to shovel stuff...

I don't give a flip about what actors think but I believe a coach who represents a state public university should show respect to the president and millions of people who voted for him.
I am sick of these elite university types that resent the working class that afforded them the opportunity to practice their craft. I hope Williams gets time to tour the South Bronx and Harlem so he can see the devastation of liberal policies.

Williams just lost the opportunity to win an NCAA Championship.

Comments like he has made will turn the bulk of sentiment against him.

WHY?.. Most sports fans are tired of the IDIOTS, Williams included, who bring politics into the sports arena.

Dean’s Myth protege’ should be more concerned with his impending nuclear detonation regarding the cheating athletes’ scandal that has been brewing at UNCheat for years.

Old (shucks) Roy will be retiring for “personal reasons” soon once the NCAA drops the hammer of Thor on their cheating asses. You won’t hear anything good from them again for years after sanctions. They make SMU, from more than 30 years ago, look like pikers in comparison.

Go ahead and Google UNC cheating scandal and enjoy.

Another myth shattered. I always thought Dean Smith was know for his integrity. It seems like anyplace with liberals and money becomes a corrupt hell hole.

Yes, Dean Smith was a loyal Democrat and liberal, but he knew where to draw the line between his personal politics and his professional obligations. I've got to respect that.

(And I've NEVER cheered for UNC. Lifelong Wolfpack fan here bay-bee!!!!)

Dean Smith was a liberal too. All he did was fight with Jesse Helms.

Sorry. He was an absolute snake. You are right, though.

Williams is just unhappy his de facto home court advantage is gone.

Typical left wing nut. You can talk to one about any subject and they will throw up some Trump calumny out of the blue.

Dean Smith was just as big a liberal.

Williams needs to shut up and coach....and quit wearing checkered jackets!

I think Williams somehow blames Trump because the NCAA is punishing the state of North Carolina for its bathroom law.

Happened under Obama nearly two basketball seasons ago.
