Roy Williams stays for son, KU
Posted Apr 9, 2008
Some Tar Heels fans were dismayed to see a Jayhawks sticker on Roy Williams' shirt as he watched Kansas defeat Memphis on Monday night. But supporting Kansas wasn't the main reason Williams stayed in town rather than returning home with the UNC team. "I'm staying here for the game, if you want to say it that way,'' he said Sunday night, "but the bottom line is that my son came from London and couldn't get out till Tuesday, so I wasn't going to leave him in San Antonio by himself."
