Roy Allen Williams is head coach of the men’s basketball team at the University of North Carolina. After averaging about an 80% win percentage in 15 seasons at the University of Kansas, he became the eighteenth head coach at North Carolina when he replaced Matt Doherty in 2003. He is second all-time for most wins at Kansas behind Phog Allen and at North Carolina behind his mentor Dean Smith. Additionally, he is third all-time in the NCAA for winning percentage. Williams has taken his teams to seven Final Fours in his careers at Kansas and North Carolina (fourth all-time in NCAA history). Williams has also won at least one game in the NCAA Tournament for 20 consecutive years (all-time record) and has led his teams at Kansas and North Carolina to 20 consecutive NCAA Tournaments (second all-time). Williams holds the active record for consecutive NCAA Men’s Division I Basketball Tournament appearances. Williams is the winningest active coach by percentage among coaches with at least 10 years experience. His teams have a 596-138 record, a win percentage of .811. He earned his 400th win in January 2003, when Kansas beat the University of Wyoming. Coach Williams won his 500th career game against High Point University on December 9, 2006 in Chapel Hill. On April 4, 2005, Williams shed his title as “the most successful coach to never have won an NCAA ring” as his Tar Heels defeated the University of Illinois in the 2005 NCAA Championship game. He would again lead them to victory 4 years later, defeating the Michigan State Spartans in the 2009 NCAA Championship game on April 6, 2009. Williams was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame in 2007
