Bohl defends job,praises Roy
By Joey Berlin jberlin@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
Kansas Athletics Director Al Bohl said yesterday the media had worked to turn public opinion against him.
Reports of tension between Bohl and men's basketball coach Roy Williams have fueled speculation that Williams will take a look at the vacant coaching position at North Carolina, where he was an assistant coach from 1979-1988.
"You guys have been writing that it's a case where Bohl's got to go roy Will stay here," Bohl said at a pep rally for Williams' team at Allen Fieldhouse.
"Hey, it's been pretty good music that we've been to two Final Fours. Those people, they don't even know Al Bohl."
Bohl was booed last week at a rally in New Orleans, where the men's basketball team played in the Final Four.
"George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, there's a few other people that have been maliciously attacked," Bohl said. "I'm not trying to be in that category, I'm just stating the facts on this thing."
Bohl said fans at the New Orleans rally had booed him because they wrongly believed that he wanted to impact Williams' job status. He said he was actually the first person who wanted Williams to stay at Kansas.
"I'm like Eisenhower, speaking of this case," Bohl said. "I want Pattons out there. I want a tough son of a gun, like a Roy Williams, that's going to go out there, and you know what? He'sgoing togetto Berlin."
Bohl also said no one from North Carolina had contacted him about talking to Williams.
"I'm going to have a key to all the doors in this building right here, and I'm going to lock them all, and we're all going to make sure that Roy doesn't get out of this building." Bohl said. "I'm going to lead the charge and make sure that we keep Roy Williams at Kansas."
