Roy Williams, happy with his life’s work, will speak in Norfolk on Tuesday

Posted Sep 12, 2023
Asked to summarize his 48 years as a basketball coach, Roy Williams, who guided UNC to three basketball national championships, turns to a line from Luke Bryan in his song "Buy Dirt." "He had a lyric to 'Do what you love, but call it work,'" said Williams. "That’s what I was able to do." Williams will speak about his life in basketball on a visit this week to Norfolk.
