Anyone ever hear this about Roy Williams?

[Illini]

He doesn't look at the scoreboard, and has no idea what the score is until halftime. He just feels that it interferes with his coaching in the first half, and refuses to look at the score or time. Explains why he always takes a long look at the scoreboard before heading to the locker room at halftime.

Im no coach, but that seems stupid to me. Many plays, personnel moves and situations require use and knowledge of the clock. I guess the saying "to each his own" fits here, I just can't see it being that much of a bother to look at the scoreboard every min or two.

that sounds like a tip from the mike martz book on coaching.

 

[Illini]

Now that I think about it, he can probably know the time from the shot clock. But he refuses to look at the score, and doesn't even want to know it until the second half.

That's funny, and I agree. Go Illini! You a big Illini fan, Blue? I've heard some good things about you from my brother.

And since he started putting first-half wagers in, he now looks at the scoreboard.
