At age 70, Roy Williams is announcing that he is retiring after an 18-year run as the Head Basketball Coach at UNC. Williams brought the Tar Heels to three NCAA Championships (2005, 2009 & 2017), and won 903 Games over his 33 years as a Head Coach.
Williams was also the Head Coach at Kansas for 15 years, where he brought the Jayhawks to four Final Fours and two National Title Games.
Williams, who was inducted both the Naismith Basketball, and College Basketball Hall of Fame, is also a nominee for our first-ever class for our United States Athletic Hall of Fame, which you can all vote on.
We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to wish Roy Williams the best in his post-coaching life.
