Roy's reputation? Attack the boards -- or else

Posted Jan 20, 2007

Roy Williams has earned the reputation as a coach who wants his teams to play pressure defense and run, run, run. It's an accurate description, but it doesn't tell the whole story. "I had a prospect one time who came and watched us practice," said Williams. "He said, 'I thought there were only 10 commandments.' I said, 'What are you talking about?' He said, 'I found out today that there's 11: Thou shalt box out.' (Durham Herald-Sun)
