Roy Williams savors second title

Posted Aug 5, 2009
Not long after UNC basketball coach Roy Williams won his second national title in April, folks started asking him how long it would take to win his third. “And I say, ‘Let me enjoy this one a little bit longer; school hasn't even started yet,'” the Hall of Famer said Tuesday, looking rested and relaxed after celebrating his 59th birthday during the weekend. “I think it's important that we do enjoy this one.” Indeed, his response is a lot different than the last time around.
