Obviously, I haven't seen all of the 338 games during your marvelous career at Kansas, but I've seen a bunch. Between one-third and one-half, I reckon. And I can't recall ever seeing you act the way you have this year.
Your team isn't losing. Just the opposite. You have one of the best teams in the country again; you're a legitimate Final Four threat. You're 30.3. Larry Brown probably won't win that many all year, and his team plays 82 games.
You've never yelled at your players as much as you have this year, screaming at them loudly enough to be heard over the crowd and getting into their faces during timeouts. And it's every game.
Too much intensity may be spoiling Roy
Commentary
By Pete Goering The Associated Press
I'm writing this because, to be perfectly honest,
I'm kind of worried about you. You don't look like
you're having any fun. What's more, you don't act
like it.
I thought about addressing this "Dear Roy," seeing as how 1) I've known you for 10 years; 2) I'm older than you by a couple of years; and 3) I'm not a recruit, but ... oh, never mind; let me get to the point.
In fact, you remain as cordial and accommodating off the floor as you were 10 years ago. And I know you've given your team more time off than maybe ever, so obviously your quest for that national championship hasn't deteriorated into an obsession.
Dear Coach:
Tony Barone isn't having fun. I don't think Tim Floyd is, either. But they have a reason. It's no fun coaching a losing team.
It's not just me. Others have noticed the difference.
Basketball player hits coach
It kind of reminds me of Bob Knight.
I know you respect him, but until this year the only comparison was coaching success...
Maybe you've changed your demeanor on purpose. Maybe you feel an in-your-face coaching style is what it takes to motivate this team, which I'm sure you think is immeasurably more talented than either of your Final Four teams.
If it works—and it is—great. Keep it up.
But remember, you're the one who always preaches "enjoy the journey." Are you?
It'd be easy to assume that the pressure of not winning a national championship is getting to you. I don't buy that. If that were the case, you'd be just as intense off the floor. And you're not.
That was the day after you stormed across the court to accost that ESPN cameraman and then later you pulled out the camera cable to get the guy away from C.B. McGrath's postgame senior speech.
I realize visions of Paul or Raef tripping over that cameraman probably flashed through your mind, and I realize you are — and should be — totally protective of your players. But I'm somewhat baffled why you got so mad at CBS a month earlier when a halftime interview with Wilt Chamberlain briefly delayed the start of the second half.
Revocation of league title leads to fight at high school
Maybe you just don't like the way television dictates things anymore. In that case, my compliments and forget everything I've said.
Jack Hartman, another coach I know you respect, remarked the other day that you didn't appear to be having much fun.
James Porter McFarland, 22, entered his no contest plea Monday under an agreement with prosecutors. State District Judge Don Leonard scheduled sentencing for April 13.
The Associated Press
OAKLAND, Calif. — In an echo of the Latrell Sprewell episode, a basketball player on a top-tranked California high school team has been cited by police for attacking his coach.
The player accused the coach of striking him, and the coach was ordered from Fremont High School while Oakland school officials investigate, the Oakland Tribune reported yesterday.
The altercation between veteran coach Clint Williams and junior Larry Guess took place last week after the Fremont Tigers were ordered in a league hearing to forfeit 18 games and the district championship because of an ineligible player.
Boyd, 23, suffered a fractured skull and partial facial paralysis in the fight. Boyd and his parents have filed a lawsuit against the four. The civil court case is scheduled for trial in May.
Williams had benched Guess in a previous game, and the two exchanged words as they left a team meeting to discuss the punishment.
The fight left the coach with a scratched cornea. Guess was cited by Oakland police for attacking a school employee. Guess, who was cut on his cheek, accused Williams of punching him.
FORT WORTH, Texas — St. Louis Rams offensive lineman Ryan Tucker faces sentencing April 6 for his role in the 1996 beating of a student outside a bar in Fort Worth.
Fremont High just had clinched the Oakland Athletic League regular season championship when league officials called the hearing Thursday regarding the eligibility of a player.
Tucker is one of two former Texas Christian players who have pleaded no contest to a charge of aggravated assault in the May 1996 attack on Bryan Bovd.
Under terms of the plea agreement, the attorneys have agreed that McFarland should serve a five-year deferred sentence and pay a portion of the almost $10,000 in restitution agreed to in Tucker's plea last week.
Williams, 41, has led the Fremont High team to the California state final and two Northern California finals in the last three years.
The confrontation happened only miles from where Golden State Warriors star Lutrell Sprewell choked coach P.J. Carlesimo Dec. 1. Sprewell was suspended for a year, and the Warriors terminated the remaining three years of his four-year contract.
Jury selection was to begin yesterday in the trial of the other two players, William Justin Thompson, 23, and Jason Howard Davern. 24.
Rams player enters plea in assault case
The Associated Press
However, they disagree on whether McFarland, who now attends Stephen F. Austin State University, should serve any jail time for the assault.
Prosecutor David Montague wants McFarland and Tucker to serve 30 days in jail. Defense
Tucker's lawyer, Bill Magnussen, already has agreed that Tucker should serve a five-year deferred sentence, pay nearly $10,000 in restitution, and attend anger-control and substance-abuse counseling, but he argued that a jail stay could jeopardize his ability to play for the Rams.
Leonard has allowed Tucker to return to Missouri.
attorney Bill Lane said that he wanted McFarland to serve no jail time.
