Roy better watch his back the next time he walks down a dark alley by himself.
EAST LANSING -- North Carolina basketball coach Roy Williams took another shot at Delvon Roe after his team defeated Michigan State on Tuesday.
Thursday, Tom Izzo fired back at the Spartans’ first practice since that loss.
Williams, after indirectly criticizing Roe’s recruitment to MSU in an autobiography released this year, took a more direct tack Tuesday.
"Let's be honest, he said he was coming (to North Carolina)," Williams said of Roe. "I looked everyday in practice and I didn't see him there.”
Roe declined comment, which pleased Izzo, even if Williams’ decision to personally direct another recruitment criticism at the player didn’t.
“I was very proud of how he handled it, because I didn’t appreciate it,” Izzo said of Roe. “I wasn’t going to let that be a big thing in the game. But of all the kids in the world that we’re going to pick on, they picked the wrong kid. I can give him a handful that he can pick on who maybe wouldn’t be as honest and up front about things, but him and his family? No, he picked the wrong kid.
“The other thing I thought was wrong was the insinuation like, almost, that Michigan State did something wrong to get him. So he picked the wrong kid, he picked the wrong family and he picked the wrong program. And there’ll be a time. There’ll be a time.”
Williams first singled out Roe in his book, “Hard Work: A Life On and Off the Court,” when he claimed a certain recruit committed to North Carolina then “lied” to him by going to Michigan State instead.
