ESPN's John Saunders Defends Roy on "Sports Reporters"

Posted Jun 7, 2015
ESPN's John Saunders gave a full-throated defense of Roy Williams and UNC's decision to extend his contract on Sunday's episode of "The Sports Reporters". Given the recent excoriation of Williams by the likes of Patrick O'Neill and Pat Forde, Saunders' well-reasoned take was interesting. The not-so-thinly-veiled shot at a player who shall no longer be named was pretty good as well. (Tar Heel Blog)
