I know Jay said he thought they were going to add time back on the clock, but that beyond cool, calm, and collected reaction was more than just a coach staying in the moment.
There's no one that credits his opponents and respects them in a win more than Jay freaking Wright. After Oklahoma game, you could tell he genuinely felt bad about blowing them out in such an embarrassing fashion on such a big stage.
There's no doubt in my mind his reaction was nothing but pure empathy towards Roy Williams and the Carolina kids, fully understanding how tough it must be to lose a game like that. He didn't want to celebrate until he had a chance to shake hands with the opponent. He's all class, deserves this beyond words can explain, and I know I speak for all of Nova Nation when I say we couldn't be prouder of him, or have a better representative of our university.
