What does it take to become head coach of the UNC Tar Heels?

Posted Dec 2, 2009
Roy Williams: "When we got back to our hotel after the 2009 championship, it wasn't the mad scene it had been in St. Louis in 2005. When I got home in '05, there were signs in my yard. That didn't happen in '09. When we got back to Chapel Hill the day after the '05 championship, everybody was so excited that people were still hugging each other. When we got back in '09, people weren't hugging each other anymore." (Independent Weekly)
