Roy Williams: NCCU basketball fans should realize what they’ve got

North Carolina men’s basketball coach Roy Williams doesn’t show up for just anybody.

Especially if he has to brave I-40 traffic during rush hour – and a State Fair.

But Williams navigated that and more to speak at North Carolina Central men’s basketball tip-off banquet last Wednesday night.

“Why am I here? That man right there. LeVelle asked me,” Williams said, pointing at NCCU basketball coach LeVelle Moton.

“I’m big on people, not big on buildings,” he continued. “I hope people understand what you have, not only one of the greatest coaches but one of the greatest people you can ever meet.
