Roy Williams is poised to do the unthinkable at UNC: Move past Dean Smith

Posted Mar 28, 2016
Roy Williams goes to work in a building named for the man who made him what he is today, and that is exactly the way he wants it. He won’t even pull his car into Coach’s parking place, even though it technically is his space now. Williams is well into his second decade as the head coach of the North Carolina Tar Heels. Dean Smith left the job not quite 19 years ago. (Sporting News)
