As Carolina basketball fans, it is easy to forget about the life that Roy Williams lived before he returned to Chapel Hill. As the head coach of the Kansas Jayhawks, Williams had as successful of a career as a first-time head coach could’ve had without winning a national title. This is why he has been selected to be inducted into the Kansas Sports Hall of Fame.
Williams was the head coach in Lawrence for 15 seasons (1988-2003) and finished his career with the Jayhawks with a 418-101 record. These wins resulted in five Big Eight regular season titles, four Big 12 regular season titles, and four trips to the Final Four.
