Roy Williams still a Kansas fan … but a UNC fan first

Posted Mar 22, 2012
UNC coach Roy Williams went out on a walk this morning. This is the kind of thing he normally does. And out somewhere on the streets of St. Louis, a Kansas fan passed by. While passing Williams, the man said: “Rock Chalk Jayhawk.” “And you know what I said,” Williams asked here earlier on Thursday. “Go K U.” Williams, of course, was the head coach at Kansas from 1988 through 2003.
