‘People need to get a helluva lot better things to do’: Roy Williams on sweater comments | News & Observer

Roy Williams found the best time to wear a striped sweater was his press conference for the upcoming Duke-UNC game on Saturday.

When asked about the quarter-zip sweater in stripes of what appeared to be something resembling Carolina Blue, pink, white, gray and a darker shade of blue, UNC’s head coach said “People need to get a helluva lot better things to do.”

“I like sweaters, I really do,” he said. “None of you suckers got on a tie.”

“I like playing golf, I like sweaters when it’s cool,” he said. “My back bothered me for several years so I wore more sweaters just to warm up my back.
