Roy Williams "honored, flattered" by proposed marker of birthplace
Posted Jun 10, 2009
In April, the UNC men's basketball team won their second NCAA championship under the guidance of Coach Roy Williams and the program's fifth overall. Marion Mayor Everette Clark sent a letter of congratulations to Williams and his team for winning the national title. In the letter, the mayor also asked Williams if he would agree to the city placing some kind of sign or marker to signify that he was born in Marion.
