How vulnerable are major programs to a coach leaving?
Posted Jul 5, 2013
Roy Williams is a bit younger than either Jim Boeheim or Mike Krzyzewski, so this transition could be a little farther off, but it doesn’t make it any less important for the Tar Heels. The last time the program tried to replace a legendary coach (Dean Smith), it waded through Bill Guthridge and then Matt Doherty before finally luring Williams from Kansas.
