Lakers coaching search: Add North Carolina's Roy Williams to list Posted May 5, 2014 The Lakers' interview list for a new coach keeps growing. North Carolina Coach Roy Williams was added to it most recently. It's not the first time Williams will have been approached by the Lakers. He told them in 2004 he was not interested in coaching them after Phil Jackson's first tour ended with the team. At the time, Williams had been with North Carolina only one season after leaving Kansas. (Los Angeles Times)
