Roy Williams is the last connection to a time that was on Tobacco Road. Despite modern rivalry dynamics, where North Carolina and Duke dominate the discussion, Williams never lost his passion for beating NC State. However, as much as he enjoyed winning, Williams has always cherished the camaraderie of his coaching peers.

Ep 5: The last connection to old Tobacco Road

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.
