CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Today, U.S. Senator Thom Tillis (R-NC) issued the following statement on the retirement of UNC-Chapel Hill men's basketball coach Roy Williams:
"Congratulations to Roy Williams on his much-deserved retirement as one of the greatest college basketball coaches of all time. Coach Williams is the ultimate Tar Heel, starting as a student-athlete, serving as an assistant coach under the legend Dean Smith, and coming back to Chapel Hill to restore the program to its former glory and winning three national championships. His leadership and legacy extend far beyond the basketball court, as Coach Williams was always generous with his time and resources in support of the Chapel Hill community. I join all North Carolinians in thanking Coach Williams for all he accomplished for our great state."
