North Carolina coach Roy Williams passed mentor Dean Smith for fourth-most Division I career wins on Saturday afternoon.
The Tar Heels beat Miami 94–71 to give Williams his 880th win to move into sole possession of the milestone.
Earlier this season, Williams tied Smith for fourth all-time after UNC beat Yale 70–67 on Dec. 30. However, the Tar Heels went on to suffer a five-game losing streak to open 2020 and delayed Williams from moving up the career wins list.
Duke coach Mike Krzyewski sits atop the list with 1,148 wins, while Syracuse's Jim Boeheim is second with 1,059.
