    Its not a secret that most UNC fans are straight up wussy.

    Sam Cassel called the crowd a UNC a wine and cheese crowd.

    Old Roy Boy went too far last night vs Presbyterian. If that was me, i'd be furious to be kicked out for that.

    They were talking about Roy having that kid thrown out on Imus this morning and I thought it was a joke at first. Seems beyond rediculous to me.

    I wonder what the kid said? Pretty lame of Roy to have him chucked.

    UNC runs shit though.

    Despise UNC so much...This video is one of the reasons why.

    I grew up in Cary (right outside of Raleigh), and people that went to UNC always had some kind of arrogance, like they were better than everyone else. I respect the quality of their sports programs because they've always been top notch in athletics, but the general attitude of the people there is of extreme overconfidence.

    If the kid was being over the line its one thing (he did look a little sloppy leaving the stands), but Roy's comments about "being there on our tickets" is ridiculous. Does he not understand that the guy likely PURCHASED those tickets? He paid his money and has the right to cheer for the other team.

    Granted I dont know what the kid was saying, and it could have been warranted to throw him out, but the arrogance of Roy to basically say that people arent allowed to sit in their stadium and cheer for the opposing team is absurd.

    They like to keep the fans of differant teams on opposite sides of the court right?

    Maybe the kid was just being escorted to the other side of the building or something?

    I'm thinking he was in the UNC student section.

    With six minutes to go in North Carolina's blowout win over Presbyterian yesterday at The Dean Dome, Roy Williams instructed security personnel to eject a fan who had heckled the Heels' Deon Thompson during a free throw attempt. The man, wearing a Presbyterian shirt and sitting a few rows behind the Carolina bench, yelled "hey Deon, don't miss it!" during the second free throw, which caused Williams to turn around, exchange some words and, eventually, point him out to security. WRAL has video of the incident.

    Drunk, profane fans are a menace at games, but there's no indication the ejected party was either of those things. "Hey Deon, don't miss it," is about as tame a taunt as there gets in a college basketball arena. That may be the nicest heckle Deon Thompson hears all season. When the Tar Heels go play at Duke, such a statement might be considered a compliment.

    When asked about the move after the game, Williams said:
    <blockquote>
    "I don't think anybody should yell anything negative at our players. Period. Let's don't make it a bigger thing than it is. But I just don't think anybody should yell negative things toward our players (when) you come in on our tickets to watch our game."
    </blockquote>
    Let's not make it a bigger thing than it is? That's easy to say after Roy himself made it a bigger thing by having some cops grab a guy who was rooting for his team in an acceptable (if slightly obnoxious) manner. If the other people sitting around the Presbyterian fan were offended, they could have gone to security themselves. What's a two-time national championship coach doing worrying about what some guy from a tiny little school is saying in a game that his team would end up winning by 39? Isn't this a little beneath Roy Williams?

    Because Roy is normally such an affable guy and this came in a meaningless game in the middle of December, there won't be much criticism lobbed his way. There should be. It's was inappropriate for Williams to censor a fan that wasn't breaking any rules. He overstepped his bounds and should be embarrassed about his actions.

    Dan Wiederer makes a good point on his blog The Fast Break: If Mike Krzyzewski had ejected a heckler at Cameron Indoor can you imagine what the public outcry would have been? We'd be comparing him to Kim-Jong Il. When good ol' Roy does it, it's folky and home-spun and protective of his players.

    It's a little thing and, in the long run, not a big deal. On most nights, Roy Williams is as classy a man as there is in college basketball. Saturday, as we all do sometimes, he slipped up.

    Hey Vagabond, I lived in Cary for the first 8 or so years of my life. Did you go to Cary High? Small world :)

    I was districted to Athens Drive, but went to Southeast Raleigh HS (was a freshman the first year it opened). My parents wanted me to go there b/c it was new and was technologically advanced at the time compared to other schools.

    I also went to ECU as well, which I assume is where you went...

    Growing up in Cary (one of the wealthiest towns in the area) and you're calling UNC fans arrogant is laughable. You're probably an NC State fan just still on the lookout for someone to be your rival in any sport

    My family moved to Cary in 1988, long before Cary became listed in magazine's as a "Most desireable place to live" etc...My family isn't rich by any means, we just got to the area before the cost of homes went through the roof there.

    People can be wealthy and not have arrogance though...most UNC fans choose not to. There are plenty of wealthy and arrogant NCSU, WFU, and Duke fans too, but it's always seemed most concentrated at UNC.

    And like I said...All the respect for their programs, because they consistenly put up quality results, but to have the arrogance that people who cheer for opposing teams can't do so in their stadium is ridiculous

    And yes I'm an NC State fan...its miserable to cheer for them in anything right now, but I continue to do so.
