60 Years of Allen Fieldhouse Celebration, held October 27, 2014 in Lawrence, KS home of the Kansas Jayhawks!
This is the video introduction of Roy Williams at the 60 Years of Allen Fieldhouse Celebration.
This was the first time Roy had been back to the University of Kansas since he left to coach the North Carolina Tar Heels.
From the Lawrence Journal World:
“I am thrilled to be here but also know it’s not about me,” Williams said. “It’s about this great building, this great program and great 60 years. I’m thrilled to be here with Ted Owens, Larry Brown and Bill Self (who also gave 15- to 20-minute speeches). Bill, I appreciate the way you handled this and invited me back. Fantastic, and I mean it,” Williams told Self.
Williams received a second standing ovation from the 7,500 fans in attendance at the conclusion of his talk.
“Thank you for letting me be here tonight,” Williams said to the fans, his voice cracking as one fan screamed ‘Roy, Roy.’ “Thank you for being a great part of 15 wonderful years. I love you. I love this place. Go KU!” Williams concluded, wiping tears from his eyes as he returned to his seat.
