Very abrupt, which is not his style.

Good for Roi. My guess is he either takes an announcer gig or helps out a program on a "consultant" type basis.
Which brings me to Larry Brown - who I have heard may help out at Indiana.

He is ill. But I am sure the boosters tried to get him to stay on by having him meet the next coach

Great coach.
Pulled an a-holemove in his departure from Kansas but brought our program to a great spot considering the situation we were left with.

Is it any coincidence this news comes the week before the final 4?

Wes Miller is probably #1 on their list right now.

Uh, is this legit or is this a well executed April Fools joke?

More that it just needs to be done before the coaching carousel is in full swing. This should've really been announced over a week ago. Some big school is about to get the rug pulled out from underneath them.

ESPN reporting. Not a joke on my end.

If it's a joke, it's incredibly well done.

Now this a job Beard can sink his teeth into...though I'm sure UNC will try to keep things "in the family".

I don't blame Roy for leaving KU. He obviously loved and still loves KU. If anyone is to blame it is snake ass, RIP Dean Smith, probably the one man Roy respected and revered the most to give him no choice but to take the UNC job.

A damn shame he never won a Natty here and I hope that KU does the right thing but honoring him as such.

There ya go Chris Beard. There's your opening.

I had to do some deep diving to figure out if this was an April Fools type of thing. But it's not.

And good for him. He did this for over 30 years at 2 of the best basketball programs out there. I hate that he didn't win a Natty here but he loves Kansas. Consistently calls Allen Fieldhouse the best venue in college athletics. He loved coming back for the thing at AFH a few years back.

He'll be back in Allen again and he will get some well-deserved honors for him. Whether that's something named after him, something in the rafters, don't know what, but he'll deserve whatever he gets.

If we do do something for him, I hope it’s the doggone paisley plaid good keed award, presented by BofH
