The ride of his life Posted Sep 9, 2007 It took Roy Williams 27 years of coaching at the college level to snare a national basketball championship. Tugging off the bejeweled ring commemorating North Carolina's 2005 NCAA title Saturday morning, the Tar Heels coach cleared room on his finger for an even more prized ring. Williams' induction into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame culminated Saturday with a parade and awarding of rings to the Hall's Class of 2007. (Raleigh News & Observer)
