Tales of all sorts happen in basketball recruiting
Posted Jul 23, 2011
His flight to St. Louis delayed, Roy Williams was speeding along the highway en route to Tyler Hansbrough's home in Poplar Bluff, Mo., when he spied flashing blue lights behind him. Nabbed, Williams apologized profusely as the officer asked for his license and the rental car agreement that served as the car's registration. "After a while he comes back, hands me my ticket and says, 'You shouldn't have beaten Mizzou as many times as you did,'" Williams said. "Well now I'm mad and I'm late and I have a big mouth so I say, 'Well if we get this kid, we'll be beating them a lot more in the future.'"
