Roy Williams, Tar Heels can’t forget about Jayhawks

Posted Mar 24, 2012
The Tar Heels would be overjoyed with a win against Kansas in the Midwest Regional final today, but one person still will be conflicted — Roy Williams himself, who spent 15 years as a head coach before returning to UNC in 2003. Williams coached against Kansas once before, in the 2008 Final Four, but that won’t make today’s game any easier. “I don’t think I’ll ever be comfortable with it,” Williams said. (Durham Herald-Sun)
