Roy Williams had memorable encounter with former President Bush

Posted Dec 6, 2018
“I never take a phone call from anybody if I’ve got a player in my office. I can’t remember what year it was, but I’ve got a player in my office and my secretary opens the door. I looked her like, ‘what are you doing?’ And she said, Coach, excuse me but former President Bush is on the phone.” Williams reminded the secretary of his no interruptions policy and instructed her to tell Bush to call him back.
