Former UNC basketball coach Roy Williams received a custom vending machine from Coca-Cola.

Former UNC basketball coach and Hall-of-Famer Roy Williams is a goldarn soda enthusiast; one that reportedly drank eight to ten Coca-Colas a day for better than three decades. His drinking habit came to an abrupt halt in the early-2000s, however, when a trip to Mayo Clinic showed that his triglyceride levels were more than triple the healthy level of 150.
