Roy Williams tries to ease fears about his health

Posted Feb 12, 2016
Roy Williams was on a flight in July 2005 when he got up to use the bathroom and had a vertigo spell. The plane had hit a patch of turbulence, sending a suddenly woozy Williams back into his seat, badly in need of an air sickness bag. Thinking the UNC coach might be having a heart attack, a flight attendant rushed to him, looking for a pulse. She couldn't find one. (Fayetteville Observer)
