Lighten up, Roy Boy


Apparently, when it comes to North Carolina basketball, not only is a discouraging word seldom heard, it’s actually prohibited.

Recently, the Tar Heels hosted tiny Presbyterian College from Clinton, S.C., in the Dean Dome, and a visiting fan had the temerity to yell at a Tar Heel shooting a free throw.

Wrong move.

North Carolina coach Roy Williams had three cops — three! — remove the fan from the stands. No word on whether Williams also wanted the man beaten with a rubber hose, just to drive the lesson home.

During the post-game press conference, Williams told reporters he had the fan removed because he doesn't think that "anybody should yell anything negative at our players. Period."

Oh.
