One would think going 14-19 would gnaw at Roy Williams to the point where he would have dissected every nuance from his team’s season now that a month has passed since its completion.

But not now, at least not with the current state of affairs in the nation.

Williams has strong opinions about his team, and it probably wouldn’t require a great deal of time to hammer out a laundry list of what must change for a return to its usual perch among the top teams in the nation. But for now, the North Carolina head man has other things on his mind.

“Well, I haven't decided to push it aside, but… what's going on in our world has definitely dominated my thoughts, period, for sure,” he recently said during a virtual press conference.

The Tar Heels not only finished with the second most losses in school history but were the bottom seed in the ACC Tournament for the first time ever after turning in a 6-14 record in league play. Add a home loss to Clemson, bringing the Tigers’ record in Chapel Hill to 1-59, and a 28-point loss to Syracuse a month ago in Greensboro, and maybe reflecting on what transpired just doesn’t appeal to the ultra-competitive coach.

“I wish the season had ended about 18 hours earlier so our last game could've been the Virginia Tech game,” he said. “That would've given us some better feelings than the Syracuse game did.”

Typically, Williams meets with players shortly after a season ends to discuss their futures in the program and professional options, for those who are possibly pro-bound at some point.

“We lost on Wednesday, came back to school on Thursday, I had (appointments) with eight of our players on Friday, got some more over the weekend through Monday and talked to them just about what the plan was,” Williams said. “And it was a plan of doubt because nobody knew what was going on, but we didn't talk about what happened during the season or anything at all.”

The staff spent some time discussing the season within the week after it concluded, but didn’t delve too much into it. And with all that’s been going on, when Williams and his staff have talked over recent weeks, they look forward more than lthey ook back.

“The more we've gotten away from the season and tried to look into the future about what's going to happen, when we're going to be able to recruit, no summer school, okay that changes the plans,” he said. “Right now, that's really dominated everything else.”

Of course, Williams offered some thoughts about the season, essentially grouping a medley of what he lamented about at times this past winter.

“I did the worst job I've ever done of getting guys to play close to their potential,” he said. “I didn't get enough guys to do that. Some of those guys didn't play very well. We had injuries that really kept us in a flux the whole time. The worst practice scenario we've ever had about guys being in and out, in and out.

“So, it was a lot of factors, and I don't think it was one simple answer other than the fact we just got our tails beat. We've just got to put it behind us and learn from those mistakes and not do the same things again.”

Nothing deep, and that’s understandable, given the current climate.
