Roy Williams’ motivational tools sound familiar to two Tar Heels on 2009 title team

Posted Apr 1, 2016
Roy Williams is making the most of a motivational tool this March that sounds pretty familiar to a pair of players who were part of UNC’s 2009 national-championship team. Tyler Zeller, in his fourth NBA season, remembers Williams preaching to the team about the intangibles possessed by the 2005 NCAA title team that the 2009 team would need in order to also win a championship.
