Roy Williams pays tribute to the late Gene Budig

Posted Sep 10, 2020
A Hall of Famer with three national championships, Roy Williams was destined for big things in basketball. The way UNC's coach tells it, a lot of credit goes to a future baseball leader who went to bat for him. Williams paid tribute Wednesday to Gene Budig, after the former American League president and head of three major universities died at 81. (Associated Press)
