CHAPEL HILL
When a player or team continues to be cursed at the free throw line, Roy Williams said recently, the assumption is that the solution involves some sort of voodoo magic. Maybe some candles or sorcery, or a combination of those things.
“Everybody thinks that your bad free throw shooters would get into a room and get some candles out and do a seance and everything,” Williams, the UNC coach, said recently. “I don’t do that.”
No, Williams and his coaching staff don’t use any wizardry. No candles, either, or any reliance on a medium to communicate with spirits from the afterlife.
