Evaluating Roy Williams' future at UNC and the top 5 candidates to one day replace him
Posted Sep 21, 2018
Nobody likes to "keep it in the family" quite like North Carolina -- the school hasn't had a head men's basketball coach who wasn't previously a UNC player or assistant since Frank McGuire left in 1961. Every coach since, starting with Dean Smith, has had ties to the program. Roy Williams, is a UNC graduate and former assistant. So will this pattern continue with UNC's next hire?
