Roy Williams puts UNC through the ringer

Posted Oct 26, 2010
UNC's players did what players always do when faced with extra conditioning. Subtly -- but noticeably -- complained. Until Roy Williams pulled out the trump card: "I told them, 'Do you think I just pulled that out of the air? This is what I got guys to do in 1982,'" Williams said. "And I looked at Leslie [McDonald] and said, 'You want to be like Mike [Jordan]? Then be like Mike. Get your butt out there and do it.'" (ESPN.com)
