Tha Daily Tar Heel Friday, December 8, 1978 if 'sunni coiiiL.i!3niimoic?: h By BILL FIELDS Staff Writer UNC's new part-time assistant basketball coach is 28 years old, but when describing his job he sounds as excited as a child talking about his shiny new bicycle. Roy Williams, who played on the UNC freshman team in 1 968-1969, is coaching the Carolina junior varsity team. He couldn't be happier. I may sound like a 12-year-old kid, but this really is a dream come true," Williams said. "I love this program. Williams said he would not have left a position as basketball coach at Owen High School in Swannanoa to come to any other school but UNC. He had coached this year's seniors at Owen since the seventh grade and had a potentially strong team at the school near Asheville. The offer to be involved with the Carolina program and head coach Dean Smith was, however, enough to bring Williams to the college ranks. "I've always felt that I wanted to get into college coaching, he said. Williams had not been a stranger to Chapel Hill since he graduated in 1972, because he has been a part of Smith's annual summer camps in recent years. He is the first part-time assistant coach Smith has had on the basketball staff. In the past, graduate students, the most recent being Dave Hanners, served as jayvee coaches, but they did no recruiting. Williams already has been on the recruiting trail. "The recruiting is enjoyable," Williams r I Jayvee Roy Williams DTMWUI Owens said. "I've seen more states in the past three months than I've seen my first 28 years. It helps for me to go out and help coach (Eddie) Fogtef and coach (Bill) Guthridge. It's tiring and so competitive sometimes. But Williams said he's been on the road for a total of three or four weeks. Coaching the junior varsity squad is his other duty. The UNC jayvees opened their season Monday night with a 90-82 win over Mt. Olive Junior College. The Tar Heels meet Kings College Saturday at 5:20 p.m. Their game precedes the Carolina Jacksonville game, which is set for 7:30. Williams has his own ideas on what the junior varsity team should seek to do. He said he admires the junior varsity players attitudes, since they don't receive scholarships or. the attention which varsity players receive. "I tell the jayvee players they are the strongest kids I've ever been involved with as far as pride and character is concerned, he said.' "! admire the Mike O'Korens and the Dudley ' Bradleys because they're so talented, but the jayvees work so hard." The junior varsity has 10 games remaining on its schedule, but winning is not Williams' top goal as coach. "Our record is not that important, he said. "But if we can play close to our potential, I'll be happy." Greg Knight, the junior varsity's 6-foot-3 center, , led the scoring in the opening win with 26 points. Seven players scored eight or more points, Williams said, including starter Terrance Burroughs, who tallied 12. Reserve Lee Pritchard scored 10 points. Joining Knight and Burroughs in the starting lineup are Donnie Laws, Mike Davis and Billy Carter, who was given a chance to try out for the varsity this fall. Williams called Carter an important JV player. "Carter has been an inspiration for us. He's been the team leader," Williams said. Junior varsity programs are becoming fewer in number each year, Williams said. Only Duke, and perhaps Virginia maintain JV teams in the ACC, he said. But Williams said UNC keeps a junior varsity for two reasons: because it is a place where players with varsity potential can be found and because it gives a few more individuals the right to say they played basketball at UNC if only on the JV level. "They love the game and they know deep inside that there are only 32 guys wearing jerseys with 'North Carolina' on the front," Williams said. "UlfHY DO THE HEATHEN RAGE?

Darrell Nicholson, a linebacker at Carolina, was selected by the ACC Writers Association Thursday for the honor. Second in the balloting was another linebacker, Bryan Holoman of Virginia. Nicholson received 39 of the 104 votes cast, Holoman had 27 and Carolina quarterback Chuck Sharpe was third with 15 votes. Earlier in the day, Clemson Coach Charley Pell was named ACC coach of the year for the second consecutive year. - Clemson .quarterback Steve Fuller was named ACC Players of the year Wednesday for the second year in a row." Fuller received 94 of 112 votes. N.C. State's Ted Brown received 14 votes and Clemson's Jerry Butler got four. Nicholson, from Winston Salem, was widely considered to be the No. 1 high school prospect in the state before signing with the Tar Heels. After the first three games of this season, Nicholson stepped into the starting position in the Tar Heel defense and started for the remainder of the season.

Especially down in Clemson, where Locke hardly had time to take off his coat and sit down before the NCAA slapped his school with a three-year probation sentence: He's been in and out of the NBA and now he's resurfaced at Jacksonville. "One thing about the problems at Clemson," he says, "they'll never have a losing program there again." And Locke hopes to make the Sun Belt Conference's Dolphins into winners again. Since the days of Artis Gilmore' and Pembroke Burroughs, the two seven-footers who led Jacksonville to a second place NCAA finish in 1971, the program has fizzled. But this year, the Dolphins narrowly lost to Wake Forest in the opener 70-68 and plan to give the Tar Heels a hard time Saturday in Carmichael at 7:30 p.m. Jacksonville, 3-2, boasts of leading scorer Duayne Smith (15.8) a 6-foot-5 forward, six-foot guard 'Cricket! Williams, freshman Mike Hackett, the Dolphins' 6 5 center, and 6-4 James Ray (14.8). Up in East Lansing, Michigan they've got a 6-8 point guard named Earvin Johnson who's fabulous and leads the No. 4 ranked Spartans against Carolina here Dec. 16. Michigan State won the Big 10 title last year for the first time in 19 years and went 25-5. Coach Jud Heathcote says he has two great players in Johnson, a sophomore and forward Greg Kelser (6 7) and three good ones to round out an impressive starting lineup. Johnson is a wizard out front with the ball despite his size, like former Indiana guard Bobby Wilkerson (6-7), except better. Sports Illustrated put Johnson on its cover a few weeks ago as the best of an unbelievably talented sophomore class. He scored 17 points a game last year while hitting only 46 percent of his shots. But it's not his shooting stats everybody looks at: it's his speed and ballhandling for a man his size. When asked whether the Spartans could win the national title this year, Heathcote just said, "Well, we've got Earvin, don't we?" 9 Spouts Swimming in South Carolina Invitational in Columbia, S.C. Carolina ventures to Cincinnati Dec. 22 for a rematch of a game Carolina won last year in Greensboro. The Bearcats recently have been put on probation by the NCAA, and Gale Catlett, the ornery one who had a few choice comments for Dean Smith after last year's game, is gone now, replaced by Ed Badger. They return starters Pat Cummings and Eddie Lee from last year's 17-10 squad and will provide an important road test for Carolina. - Last year at Christmas Carolina entered the Rainbow Classic in Hawaii and the year before it traveled to the Pacific for the Far West Classic.
