Roy Williams is era's best NCAA Tournament coach

Posted Apr 3, 2017
Roy Williams’ March dominance is a remarkable thing. It’s not just that he’ll have passed his mentor, Dean Smith, for championships if he wins his third on Monday. It’s that he simply is the most successful NCAA tournament coach of the 2000s with 2 championships, 7 Final Fours, 10 Elite Eights, and 12 Sweet 16s. What’s more impressive is how Williams’ teams never falter early. (USA Today)
