ESPN Panel Thinks 15 Current Coaches Are Better Than Roy Williams

Posted Jul 3, 2014
Roy Williams is the second lowest-ranked of the coaches who have actually won a national championship, and all of the coaches who have won multiple titles are in the top 5, except of course for Williams. The top 15 suffers from a healthy dose of The Next Big Thing(TM), which is likely why Fred Hoiberg, Tony Bennett, Shaka Smart, Sean Miller, Kevin Ollie, and Gregg Marshall are all listed ahead of Williams.
