Roy Williams, Michael Jordan and the Snickers bar that saved UNC's national title
Posted Mar 30, 2022
This is the story of how Roy Williams, a young assistant, almost missed Dean Smith’s first NCAA Tournament title at UNC. Almost missed the 1982 national championship game at the Superdome, the one where Tar Heels freshman Mike Jordan became Michael Jordan. This was all because of a candy bar, but not just any candy bar. It had to be a Snickers.
