Does anyone have a list of Dean's former players or assistant coaches that went on to become head coaches at any NCAA program, including UNC? AND a separate list for for the same with Roy's?

I am thinking thru a point that I think may be very valid but I want the numbers to add up accurate. I am considering that a indicator of coaching greatness is to look at the coaching tree a great coach leaves behind when he retires? My thinking revolves around a feeling that Dean produced more head coaches because Dean used more input from his staff, even at times welcomed other views that may not have equaled his own at times. As opposed to some what of a feeling for me that Roy had more "yes men" that maybe didn't make for great head coach hires? I will accept that was a very poorly worded version of what I am thinking thru, I just want to weight the merits and see what I see.
