Roy Williams has never quite gotten his due, but he's outdoing even himself at UNC

Posted Feb 25, 2017
Roy Williams is a Naismith Memorial Hall of Famer and has been since 2007. So it’s not like the North Carolina coach completely lacks respect. But he is underappreciated. And a reminder of that came Saturday when Williams secured at least a share of the ACC regular-season title via an 85-67 victory at Pitt. His Tar Heels are now 25-5 overall and 13-3 in the league.
