LAWRENCE, Kan. — Former Kansas Jayhawks men's basketball coach Roy Williams returned to Allen Fieldhouse on Tuesday night — the first game he'd attended in the building since he was KU's coach in 2003.
At the first media timeout, KU played a tribute video to him, and fans gave him a standing ovation as he stood and thanked the crowd.
Williams became emotional when discussing that moment with reporters at halftime.
"It was pretty dang nice. It really was," Williams said, tears welling in his eyes. "It really was."
