Former UNC Players React to Roy Williams' Retirement

Posted Apr 2, 2021
Jawad Williams: "My phone kept buzzing from text messages. Then I get a call from David Noel. He asked “So, what you think?” I replied, “About what?” Then I get a message from Sean May asking could I talk. That’s when he told me. At first I told him I didn’t have time for his jokes, but he seemed a little off. That’s when I realized he was serious." (Inside Carolina)
