Jacobs: Roy Williams says it’s been tough year for UNC, basketball

Posted Feb 8, 2014
Williams is an admittedly emotional man. During a rare 57-minute interview, he choked up several times as he discussed his team, coaching, and the travails of former player P.J. Hairston. As a Dean Smith disciple and proud UNC alumnus, Williams expressed hurt and anger, most of it directed at critics, regarding revelations and allegations of academic misconduct involving classes taken by Tar Heel athletes.
