Dick Baddour Details UNC's Second Attempt to Secure Roy Williams

Posted Apr 30, 2018
After deciding not to return to his alma mater in the summer of 2000, Roy Williams led Kansas to three Sweet Sixteens, two Final Fours, and one National Championship game. In those three seasons, Williams was 89-19 overall and 42-6 in conference. "In my mind, there was no question with where we should go," Baddour said on the Carolina Insider Podcast.
