Roy Williams brings out fiery side to motivate inconsistent Tar Heels

Posted Dec 18, 2014
The first time North Carolina’s Kennedy Meeks saw Roy Williams show off his angry side in practice was after last season’s mid-December home loss to Texas. Practice the next day was filled with running. Williams’ normally affable demeanor had been replaced with a hard edge. “He’s not in a good mood,” Meeks said of his reaction that day. “It’s not a wonderful day in the neighborhood.” (Fayetteville Observer)
