Roy Williams 'Despises' Facing Former Players, Coaches

Posted Dec 2, 2020
When Roy Williams was at Kansas he loathed facing Dean Smith at North Carolina. And now at UNC, the experience isn't any better. "I told our staff this afternoon, I hate it. I hated it in '91 when we played North Carolina. I hated it in '93 when we played North Carolina," Williams said (Video) after his Tar Heels defeated Jerod Haase's Stanford team Tuesday.
