Also up there in National Championships, NCAA Tourney wins, E8's, and FFs!

We are incredibly lucky to have had two of the greatest MEN and COACHES at our beloved UNC!

His record/numbers speak for themselves. One of the best of all time.

No other Coach works as hard as ours . .

It looks like his knee replacement surgery was a success today. Hope Coach has a fast and complete recovery . .

Well I would modify that by saying we had 3 of the greatest men and coaches because we can't forget about coach Gut !

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Wonder if the fans this past season who said Roy Williams time as a successful coach has past him by would dare to argue with the above stats....No I didn't think so...

 

[UNC Blue Hup]

Anyone who questioned Roy doesn't know college basketball.

 

[carolinablue34]

Of course he's a great coach, why is this even a question?

Get well coach, we need you more than ever.

 

[DaSheed]

I'll never forget the press conference announcing Roy as the head coach back in 2003. One of the first things he said and he was addressing the players, "You'll never work as hard as I work and you'll never care as much as I care, but I expect it to be close."

That completely sums up Roy

You dont think Phil was a great coach?

You dont think Phil was a great coach?

i think he's the best ego manager ever.

i could probably be persuaded to either side...i know this, he had the best collection of talent ever, twice.

Phil was undoubtedly a great coach.

Sure, he coached a lot of talent but you don't win as many rings as he did unless you are a great coach.

Being the best ego manager is very underrated. Look at when he left the Lakers. They still had some talent with Kobe, Dwight Howard and Pau Gasol, yet D'antoni couldnt get them to mesh. The year they were with out Jordan in the 90's, the Bulls won 55 games and lost to the Knicks in 7 games in the 2nd rd, who went on to lose to the rockets in the finals. To lose Jordan around 30 days before the season started made that year even more impressive.
