Roy Williams, The Pain Of Losing, And The Pain Of Letting Go

Posted Apr 18, 2021
The one time I interviewed Roy Williams, his office was as dark as an undertaker’s basement. This was in 2013. The night before, UNC played little Belmont University. It was supposed to be an early-season tune-up for the Tar Heels. Instead, Belmont had beaten UNC — in Chapel Hill. I was there to talk to Williams about his mentor, Dean Smith. (WFAE)
