Stingy with praise, Roy Williams keeps Tar Heels grounded

Posted Mar 4, 2017
While UNC is a win away from grabbing the outright regular-season title in the nation’s toughest league, nobody seems as unimpressed as Roy Williams. In his dealings with the media, at least, he seems to be going out of his way to make sure his fifth-ranked Tar Heels stay grounded. If they want an unqualified compliment, they likely won’t get one from him. (Fayetteville Observer)
