Has Roy Williams surpassed Dean Smith as the greatest UNC basketball coach?

Posted Jul 17, 2019
Dean Smith retired from North Carolina in 1997 as perhaps the greatest coach in college basketball history. With 11 Final Fours, a pair of national championships and 879 wins, then an NCAA Division I record, Smith etched his name on the Mount Rushmore of college basketball minds. Roy Williams soon will surpass Smith – in at least one metric, that is. (Daily Tar Heel)
