Former UNC Coach Roy Williams Gives Emotional Quote After Tar Heels’ Final Four Run

Posted Mar 28, 2022
Hubert Davis and Roy Williams are very close, and Williams was on hand to watch Davis pursue his dream of coaching his alma mater to a Final Four. “It’s perhaps, for me, the greatest moment in my basketball career. I’ve never had any more faith and love for one man and to think that he’s just won it—he’s been better than I ever was, right now,” Williams said. (Sports Illustrated)
