NEWARK -- It is helpful to be able to think fast in emergencies, but sometimes it is better just to be fast.
After an alarm went off during a news conference at Prudential Center, North Carolina coach Roy Williams initially tried to continue answering questions. But moderator Mike Fratto announced the building would be evacuated.
Before leaving, Williams joked, "We can get out of here a hell of a lot faster than most teams we play."
Reporters weren't halfway down the hall before returning after an all-clear.
By that time, Carolina had left the building and reached its bus. Williams and his players were summoned back to finish the interview.
