Roy Williams: T.J. Yates could be a 'foxhole buddy'

Posted Jan 6, 2011
UNC basketball coach Roy Williams gave starting quarterback T.J. Yates one of his ultimate compliments during the coach’s Monday evening radio show: “I'd take T.J. Yates as a foxhole buddy, because when it was chaos, that young man used his brain and he's tough enough to stand in there make throws,’’ Williams said in the audio clip, which was provided by the school. “And I just love him to death.” (Raleigh News & Observer)
