Roy Williams Speaks on Coaching Michael Jordan
Posted Jul 14, 2018
Roy Williams: "The first time I ever saw Michael Jordan was the summer before his senior year in high school. I told Eddie Fogler, our other assistant coach, that I had just seen the best 6-foot-4-inch high school player I’d ever witnessed. None of us had any idea that he was going to develop into the greatest player who’s ever played the game. We’d like to say we knew, but we didn’t."
