Dadgum. Frick. Frip. Doggone. Blankety-blank. Roy Williams has made a conscious effort not to curse and has famously incorporated substitute words that FCC censors would approve. But when Williams does use an actual “bad word"? He makes it count, including the time he cursed in response to a question about taking the North Carolina job following a loss in the NCAA National Championship in 2003. Williams’ love for that Kansas squad and the pull of coming home to Chapel Hill came through in a very human moment on national television. If only Williams was on social media, maybe he could've promoted this episode of the podcast.

Ep 4: How cursing explains Roy's UNC return

Roy Williams was quick with names and good with the whistle. If he wasn&rsquo;t, who knows if he ever would have caught Dean Smith&rsquo;s attention. The sequel to Smith&rsquo;s dynasty at North Carolina &mdash; the five trips to the Final Four and the three national titles with the Tar Heels &mdash; never would have happened. Roy Williams ended his hall-of-fame career on April 1, 2021. The story of how he made it to the top with two of the blue blood programs in college basketball, UNC and Kansas, has been told but not like this and not with this type of honesty and insight from That Dadgum Legend himself. ROY is produced by 99.9 The Fan in Raleigh, North Carolina and hosted by Joe Ovies and Joe Giglio.
