Final Four 2017: Roy Williams in awkward position to pass mentor Dean Smith with one more win

Posted Apr 3, 2017
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 is technically 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 20 years ago. (Sporting News)
