Roy Williams Listed As Best Men’s College Basketball Coach of Past 25 Years

Posted Apr 2, 2026
No coach has had more success since the turn of the century than Roy Williams. Since 2000, Williams has seven Final Four appearances, the most in the last 25 years. He also won three championships since 2000, tied for the most in the time period. He tops our quarter-century list for his Final Four record since 2000. The three titles don’t hurt either.
