Williams Gets 500th Career Win in 94-69 Rout of High Point

Posted Dec 10, 2006

No Division I coach reached the 500-win mark faster than Roy Williams. Fittingly, North Carolina used a quick start to give him that meaningful milestone. Tyler Hansbrough had 24 points to lead the third-ranked Tar Heels to a 94-69 rout of High Point on Saturday night and give Williams his 500th career win - a mark he said the coach kept silent about all week.
