Roy Williams' colorful use of the language has drawn the attention of Deadspin and other sports blogs, so the secret's out.
Charlotte Observer columnist Scott Fowler offers his recommendations on a suitable slap on the wrist for Williams, while pointing out that the Tar Heels coach should be flippin' happy he doesn't race cars for a living.
"Ol' Roy is just lucky he's not in NASCAR," Fowler writes. "... in recent years both Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Tony Stewart were penalized 25 driver points and fined $25,000 for cursing on their interviews on live TV."
I'm not sure what the ACC equivalent of driver points would be, but the Pawleys Island Beach House Trust Fund for Assistant Sports Editors might be a worthy charity interested in a contribution from Williams' swear jar.





Assistant sports editor Lorenzo Perez has bounced back-and-forth between The News & Observer's news and sports department several times since joining the newspaper in 1999. His latest assignment has him working with The N&O's ACC writers and online news. E-mail
