WRAL: UNC, Williams reach deal on contract extension through 2019-20

“The University of North Carolina is fortunate to have Roy Williams directing its basketball program, and we are proud to extend his contract through the 2020 season,” Cunningham said in a statement. “His results on the court over 27 years as a head coach are among the most accomplished in the history of the sport, but his love for the University of North Carolina and the way he cares for his students are truly unmatched. Roy is a man of character and integrity, and I have great respect for the way he leads our basketball program.”

Right on, Bubba.

Fans will be fans and every fanbase is essentially the same, but all of this nonsense about the game passing Roy by or he can’t get the guy anymore is pure rubbish. I can’t believe I’m saying this, but daggumit, go get yourself another ring, Roy.
