Roy Allen Williams is an American basketball coach, currently the head coach of the men's basketball team at the University of North Carolina. After averaging nearly an 80% win percentage in 15 seasons at the University of Kansas, he became the eighteenth head coach at North Carolina when he replaced Matt Doherty in 2003. He is second all-time for most wins at Kansas behind Phog Allen and at North Carolina behind his mentor Dean Smith. Additionally, he is sixth all-time in the NCAA for winning percentage. Williams has taken his teams to seven Final Fours in his careers at Kansas and North Carolina and is one of only two coaches in NCAA history to have led two different programs to at least three Final Fours each. From 1990 to 2009, Williams led his teams at Kansas and North Carolina to 20 consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances and earned at least one victory in each appearance, achieving the all-time record for most consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances with a win. These streaks both ended in the 2009?10 season as UNC failed to receive a bid to the NCAA Tournament. He earned his 400th win in January 2003, when Kansas beat the Wyoming Cowboys.
