Hall of Fame coach Larry Brown expressed his desire for one person to decide North Carolina's next men's basketball coach: Roy Williams, who retired from the position Thursday.
Brown, a North Carolina alumnus, told ACC Network's Packer and Durham on Friday that he believes Williams deserves the chance to choose his successor and that the next coach should already have Tar Heels ties.
"In my gut, I hope Roy Williams picks his successor, and I hope it's someone from the Carolina family," Brown told Packer and Durham. "... I know what Coach [Dean] Smith would want, I know what Coach [Frank] McGuire would want.
