Former UNC basketball coach Roy Williams talks about Coach K at his Fast Break Against Cancer event in Chapel Hill.
well coach after all the years. You know what does this event still mean to you? Coaches versus cancer I'm very involved with. But this is a fast break for cancer for University of north Carolina. University of north Carolina hospital and the people have been great. This is uh I think the year 17 That we've done it, we've raised a lot of money. We've raised over $3 million dollars for the cancer hospital here on campus and it's something I've loved doing. And you know what what what message do you want to give to people out there? Just about what this event means to to the world. Well, cancer touches everybody. And if you haven't touched you yet, it's going to touch you somebody in your family or somebody very close to you. The only way we can continue fighting and doing this in a positive way has raised more money for research and if we do those kind of things were getting better. The survival rate in almost every cancer has gotten better and better in the last 20 years. And so we need to keep trying to raise money and it's obviously a huge weekend for U. N. C. The big rivalry, you know, I guess as you're sitting here watching coach K. From the sidelines this time. You know, what are your thoughts heading into the final game there, Cameron? Well, I'm not going to the game. Uh I don't want to do that because I'd like to show mike respect. But I'm not going to show my respect if I'm standing on a chair like crazy for us to beat him to death. So, but he's met a great deal to college basketball, great deal to college coaches and his career. What he's done has just been phenomenal. And I congratulate him and I just hope north Carolina wins. Last question. Any advice to him as he answers his retirement? I don't think mike chefs, he needs advice from Roy Williams on anything, but I've enjoyed it. I miss coaching. There's no question about that, but I've enjoyed what I'm doing and spending more time with my family.
