North Carolina's Roy Williams relies on experience in reaching 800 wins

It's no secret that North Carolina hasn't signed the recruits it used to seemingly pluck from the top 10. It also doesn't matter. Roy Williams still reached 800 Division I wins in fewer seasons (29) than any other coach, including former UNC coach Dean Smith and Duke's Mike Krzyzewski, who shared the previous record at 33 seasons.
