Almost 'hatred' for P.J. Hairston, Roy Williams says

Posted Oct 17, 2013
Roy Williams said he has been surprised by the reaction to P.J. Hairston’s tumultuous summer. “It’s a different world than it was 10 years ago and 20 years ago,” Williams said, referring specifically to social media. “It’s been almost a hatred thing at some points, but I’m not saying he didn’t do anything wrong. The intensity of the disagreement of every maneuver has been very hard to handle.” (Greensboro News & Record)
