Kansas has last word
Sitting in the lobby of the Doubletree Hotel, the home of the Kansas Democratic delegation this week, it’s almost impossible to escape rumblings of the name Roy Williams.
Five years and a national championship removed from his tenure as the University of Kansas men’s basketball coach, you would think people would have forgotten about the man who left for his alma mater of North Carolina.
And most people probably do until they run into someone from North Carolina. But this week, Roy, Dean Smith and basketball will likely remain the hot topic in the lobby of the Doubletree as the North Carolina delegation shares the hotel with the Kansas delegation throughout the convention.
While Roy Williams is no longer a curse word in Kansas, it is still a sore subject among some dedicated fans.
At least for this convention, Kansas can have the last laugh at the basketball gods, who must have had a hand in the reservations for the convention.
We have the national champs. North Carolina doesn’t. And after the Tar Heels win it next year, which they should, their state delegation will have three years to get it off their chests before the next Democratic National Convention.
