Dick Baddour on the Loyalty and Impact of Roy Williams

Posted Apr 5, 2021
Dick Baddour tried to hire Roy Williams twice. First in 2000, after Bill Guthridge retired, and then again in 2003, when North Carolina moved on from Matt Doherty. The second attempt was successful and began one of the best runs in college basketball history. On Thursday afternoon, Baddour was in the Smith Center for Williams' retirement press conference.
