UNC can’t blame Roy Williams for its problems

Posted Feb 10, 2017
UNC finished No. 1 in the ACC seven times in Williams’ first 13 seasons, making four runs to the Final Four over that stretch. But Roy Williams can’t coach? It’s difficult to criticize the job Williams has done this season. Despite losing their two best players from the 2015-16 roster in Brice Johnson and Marcus Paige, the Tar Heels have mostly looked like a national title contender. (FanRag Sports)
