Tar Heel Sports Properties and the Coca-Cola Co. presented Roy Williams a customized vending machine in honor of his retirement following 18 years as head UNC basketball coach, according to a 24sports.com report.

The Coke machine features a radio with two speakers, a photo of Williams cutting down the nets following the 2017 National Championship and UNC's argyle pattern.

Williams drank as many as 10 Cokes a day for over 30 years before the University of Kansas sent him to the Mayo Clinic for a physical in the early 2000s. Following his visit, he switched to Sprite Zero.
