Roy Williams like 'a dad' to Tar Heels' Paige

Posted Apr 24, 2016
Marcus Paige said Roy Williams helped him grow not only as a basketball player but as a man. And when Paige went through a horrible shooting slump during the season, his coach's confidence in him never wavered. “When I was struggling, he told me he still had all the confidence in the world in me and no matter how many shots I missed he was still going to believe in me.” (Asheville Citizen-Times)
