Duke basketball: Blue Devil calls out UNC’s Roy Williams

Duke basketball (Bob Donnan-USA TODAY Sports)

A past Duke basketball star tells a comical UNC basketball recruiting tale.

Evidently, despite his rejection of a Tar Heel offer in 2005 and then the whole 2009 Tyler Hansbrough incident that forever left a bloody stain on his reputation in Chapel Hill, Duke basketball great Gerald Henderson is still chummy with 18th-year UNC basketball head coach Roy Williams all these years later.

But the lasting friendship did not stop Henderson, a longtime frequenter of the links, from spilling the beans about the apparently one-time overhyped golf game of the man who had hoped to lure him to the other end of Tobacco Road.
