Hall of Fame college basketball coach Roy Williams says the NCAA is simply reacting rather than having a plan to address last week's settlement with players that opens the door for athletes to be paid. "Right now what we're doing is reacting to everything instead of making some plans in front. I always think those are bad situations."
