Roy Williams Teaches Crash Course in Defense

Posted Nov 2, 2005

For two seasons, Roy Williams's defensive gameplanning had at least one simple routine: identify the opponent's best scoring guard. Point him out to Jackie Manuel. Watch the opposing guard suffer through 40 minutes of harassment. Manuel, perhaps Carolina's most recognizable defensive ace since Derrick Phelps, is gone. And that's only one of the defensive challenges facing the 2005-06 Tar Heels. (CSTV)
