You knew I would be writing about Carolina's demise down in Tallahassee sooner or later, so here it is. First off, I'll agree with anyone out there, the Heels got destroyed by FSU. I honestly don't know what Carolina team showed up because it certainly was not the same team I've seen. Maybe the team had jet lag or something from traveling, who knows. Bottom line, UNC played like crap and FSU came to win, period. The Seminoles were better than the Heels in all aspects of the game and that's why they won like they did.
Now, on to the part that caused me to title this post "Enough Is Enough." Everyone has been giving Coach Williams heck when he decided to leave his walk-ons to finish up the game. Let's get it straight, UNC had to have players on the court. If not, they would've had to forfeit (even though the game was over anyway). Secondly, the assistant coaches and strength/conditioning coach remained with the players until the end of the game. Finally, it was a mutually agreed upon move by both Roy Williams and Leonard Hamilton. In fact, According to USA Today, it was Hamilton's idea for Roy to clear his bench and leave the remaining players on the court. Since the debacle, Roy apologized to those players he left.
Sure, I think it could've been handled with a little less confusion and all but, my bottom line is this: it's over! There's really no point in talking about it anymore. What this boils down to is a team had to play the final seconds of the game and the walk-ons were the ones who did. Human judgement is not always perfect so just move on!
