Tar Heels, Roy Williams need more than hard work

Posted Mar 12, 2010
The last time Roy Williams lost this many games in a season, he was a young coach in his first job at Owen High, trying to get kids to learn and play in a system foreign to them. More than 30 years, a Hall of Fame career, 610 wins and a couple of national championships later, he is facing a similar set of issues. There weren't nine high-school All-Americans in the gym at Swannanoa back in the early '70s, but you get the gist. (Asheville Citizen-Times)
