It appears the Roy Watch will continue at least a few more days. In a statement released Thursday, North Carolina Athletics Director Dick Baddour confirms he's talked with KU's head coach, and those talks will continue through the weekend.

"Coach Williams and I feel the timing is too near the end of the Final Four and there is too much going on in Lawrence at this time to conclude our talks," Baddour said. "I have not offered the job to Coach Williams, but we have had good conversations that will continue over the next few days. He understands we will continue to proceed with other candidates, as well."

Baddour's statement comes one day after KU fired athletic director Al Bohl, a move many believe was made in an effort to persuade Williams to remain as the Jayhawks' head coach.
