UNC Basketball Coach Roy Williams: Be Led By Your Dreams

Hansbrough, Lawson, Ginyard, and Hinrich were all leaders on the court

Posted November 5, 2009

That's the great thing about college basketball. Every year is unique. I can't wait to see what is in store this year. I know one thing. We have great kids who can lead and allow themselves to be led. I tell them all the time: Be led by your dreams, not pushed by your problems. Go out and chase your dreams.

Roy Williams has spent more than 30 seasons as a basketball coach, the past 21 at the Universities of Kansas and North Carolina. He has led two teams to national championships.
