UNC's Roy WIlliams has nothing but praise for King Rice

Posted Dec 17, 2015
UNC coach Roy Williams has known Monmouth head coach King Rice since he was a teenager at Binghamton High School. As a Tar Heels assistant, Williams recruited Rice, a 1987 McDonald's All-American, in the mid-1980's for late, legendary head coach Dean Smith, but never saw Rice's best days as a collegian once he took the head-coaching position at Kansas in 1988.
