UNC's Roy Williams retires an under-appreciated champion

Posted Apr 20, 2021
Roy Williams was underappreciated during his time as North Carolina basketball coach. His ‘Aw shucks’ demeanor is endearing, but often people forgot there’s a brilliant and unique coaching mind behind that demeanor. He is a part of one of the strongest, oldest, most influential branches on the basketball family tree. Roy was the great Dean Smith pupil. (Mebane Enterprise)
