"If Roy Williams has a secret it is that he is the same person now that he was when I first met him as Dean Smith's No. 3 assistant many, many years ago. This book is a clear reflection of that man hard working but loyal, dogged, self-deprecating, and, at his core, one of the world's truly good people." John Feinstein
