On Recruiting Character:
“I recruit character as much as I recruit ability,” UNC coach Roy Williams says. “And if you’ve built a team of character, they can handle moments that others cannot and they accept coaching without complaining."
On Elite Players:
"Most elite teams have elite players,” he says. “And when the guy others look up to also happens to be dedicated to constant development, that’s a dream situation.”
On Season Expectations:
Williams used his preseason time with players to reinforce his message and offer this prescription. “I reminded each player that the way you deal with expectations is to focus only on today,” he says. “Yes we have a plan for the entire year, but it all begins with what we are going to do today. If you work to be the best you can be today, you’re preparing yourself to be the best you can be tomorrow. It sounds simple, but it’s not."
