6B = THEUNIVERSITYDAILYKANSAN SPORTS WEDNESDAY,APRIL 16,2003 What others are saying about Williams' departure Following are excerpts from editorials and sports columnists' comments about Kansas basketball coach Roy Williams' decision to return to North Carolina after 15 seasons with the Jayhawks: Editorial, The Lawrence Journal World: Many were surprised by the manner in which Williams handled the coaching questions and, justified or not, the coach lost some respect along with a certain amount of sheen from his highly polished image. If the ties to North Carolina were so strong, why did he need to drag out announcing his decision for such a long time? Why not come clean with Kansas officials and basketball fans sooner and say he was planning to accept the UNC offer to succeed Matt Doherty, supposedly one of Williams' close friends? For months, Williams had told close associates there could be no negotiation or compromise concerning the situation with Athletic Director Al Bohl and that university officials would have to decide which man they wished to retain, Williams or Bohl. Some now will suggest Williams might have stayed in Lawrence if KU officials had acted sooner, but that's highly questionable. Bohl has been fired, but Williams, too, will be leaving. Now it is important to remember that no one is indispensable. The KU coaching position is one of the top jobs in the country. The university has enjoyed a proud record over the years, and there is no reason to believe this winning tradition won't continue. Many highly successful coaches will be interested in the KU job; and once the new coach is named, it is important for all fans to give their support and backing to the new staff. There is bound to be much debate over why Williams left, what might have been done differently to keep him as the Jayhawk coach and many other facets of the story. It's all history now, and the No.1 job facing the KU athletic family is to select a first-class coach and a first-class individual to take over the basketball reins in Allen Fieldhouse. Bob Lutz, The Wichita Eagle; Kansas basketball players should not waste one second feeling sorry for themselves about Roy Williams' departure for North Carolina. He dissed them by leaving in the manner in which he did. He talked non-stop about loyalty for 15 years, then left Lawrence with his tail between his legs to catch a plane to Chapel Hill. Williams' last act at Kansas, which was to bolt without an explanation to the fans who made his life in Lawrence heavenly, will make people question his sincerity. But it couldn't be better for the team. KU's players have a cause to rally around. They have extra motivation for next season and seasons to come. They should want to show Coach Roy that he made the biggest mistake of his life by choosing his roots over his branches. the jayhawks' players, even with all of the uncertainty that faces them, to pick up and leave KU the way their coach did. That's the cowardly way out. Kansas' players should be hopping mad, and it sounds as if at least some of them are. wayne Simien, who missed most of his sophomore season with a lingering shoulder injury, indicated his anger by saying he gave his right arm for Williams — literally, since he played less than half of KU's games with a shoulder injury. Point guard Aaron Miles told a Kansas City radio station that he is more determined than ever to win a national championship. Simien, Miles and Keith Langford, who will be the leaders of KU's 2003-04 squad as juniors, should get on the phone as soon as possible and tell Williams' four recruits for next season, two of whom are McDonald's All-Americans, to honor their commitments. Joe Posnanski, The Kansas City Star: OK, so now it's time to explain how I missed that badly, how I wrote that Roy Williams would stay at Kansas, no doubt, no question, no hesitation. You may have heard the news. He didn't stay. He gathered his players together for a half-hour Monday, said goodbye, cried, hopped on a private jet to Chapel Hill and said that it was good to be home. That's a wrap, folks. It was a nice 15 years. Thing is, Roy Williams isn't the person I thought he was. I'm not saying he's a better person or worse. He's just different. The Roy Williams I gotto know could never have left his players at Kansas. Never. Three years ago, when North Carolina called the first time, I told people he would stay. "He can't leave those players." I said. I was right then. But something happened in three years. Something hard to explain. Maybe it had something to do with a good man, Bob Frederick, getting pushed out, and a used-car salesman, Al Bohl, taking his place. Maybe it was the feelings that hit a man at 50, those feelings of "Is this all there is?" Maybe it was his sense that the spotlight simply wasn't bright enough in the Midwest. He would mention that sometimes. "It takes a lot," he said, "to get noticed here." Whatever, the Roy Williams I got to know never could have done what this Roy Williams did the last few weeks. He was remarkably mum when one of his best friends, Matt Doherty, got shoved out the door at North Carolina. There was no outrage. There was no sympathy. Shoot, a coach gets fired anywhere in America, and Roy Williams is usually one of the first to send a press release saying that it's a shame a good man lost his job. But when it was Doherty, one of Roy's most loyal friends, one of Roy's most ferocious defenders, Williams had nothing at all to say. What does it mean? Nothing good. Nothing good at all. I never thought Roy Williams was capable of letting his friend toss and turn and then taking his job. I just didn't think he had that in him.
