Nonverbal Communication Analysis No. 3520: North Carolina Coach Roy Williams' Reaction after Buzzer Beater Loss to Villanova - Body Language (VIDEO, PHOTOS)





Last night Villanova defeated North Carolina to win the NCAA National Basketball Championship. The Wildcats won on a three point buzzer beater by Kris Jenkins.


The Tar Heels' coach Roy Williams, can be seen in the above video from 0:18 - 0:22 and again briefly during 0:27.

From a body language perspective, Coach Williams' expression in this image is telling (captured during 0:21). While his primary emotion is anger (probably self-directed) - characterized here by his drawn together and lowered eyebrows, the tension in his "mustache area", nostril flaring, his thinned and horizontally oriented lips - his secondary emotion, is that of regret. What are the particular facial configurations which tell us (very understandably) Williams is experiencing regret in this moment?
