Players, staff confident in Williams' return

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. -- North Carolina basketball coach Roy Williams remained at UNC Hospitals on Wednesday evening following a 3½-hour operation to have a tumor removed from his right kidney. Doctors have not determined whether the tumor was malignant or benign, and that may impact whether or not Williams has to have a second surgery next month to remove a tumor in his left kidney, a team spokesman told ESPN.com. A second surgery could sideline him for a few workouts, the school said in a news release, but the 62-year-old Williams likely wouldn't miss any games.
