North Carolina basketball coach Roy Williams said he never had any hesitation about playing freshman wing Nassir Little, despite FBI documents that appeared to allege Little’s AAU coach was trying to funnel money to his family. “I believe in people,” Williams said. “Nassir’s family, his mom and his dad, and Nassir, I believed what they said. I strongly believed what they said.” (Charlotte Observer)
