Ex-star McCants claims he has no relationship with UNC or Roy Williams

Just 12 years after helping lead North Carolina to the NCAA championship, Rashad McCants says he has no relationship with the school or his former coach Roy Williams.

It was just three years ago that McCants alleged the school kept him eligible through a series of fake classes and poor attendance, with Williams playing a role. The legendary coach immediately denied the claim and the relationship between the men has been over ever since.

"The things he's done and said and denied, I just can't respect," McCants told C Jackson Cowart of The Charlotte Observer. "As a coach, he's a great coach, and he's deserving of the Hall of Fame and everything that's coming to him. But as a man, I don't have anything to say."

Since McCants went public with the accusations in 2014 he hasn't returned to his home state and has no connection with the school. He was drafted 14th overall in 2005 and played parts of four seasons in the NBA, averaging 10 points per game.

"Right now my name probably is a guy that's trying to ruin North Carolina," he said.
