New Roy Williams autobiography reveals untold stories

Posted Oct 17, 2009
When UNC coach Roy Williams was 14 years old, he pulled his drunk and angry father off his mother, shoved a bottle under his chin, and threatened to kill him if he didn't leave. "My dad never, ever came back to our house again" Williams writes in his autobiography, 'Hard Work, A Life on and Off the Court' which will be on sale Nov. 3. "... Frances [my sister] was more forgiving. I was not. I was mad that he'd torn our family apart." (Raleigh News & Observer)
