Now that Roy Williams is retired, a unique language — ‘Royisms’ — is lost

Posted Apr 3, 2021
College basketball will miss Roy Williams...and his Roy-isms. A 33-year head coaching career came to an end on Thursday when Williams announced his retirement in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. The game will be without a Hall of Fame coach who won three men’s NCAA championships and brought emotion and a unique vernacular to press conferences. (Kansas City Star)
