Just saw that Roy Williams got his 300th win at Carolina. Fastest coach to 300 in ACC history. For what seems like a lot of down seasons lately, it is impressive that he is still the fastest to 300 in a historically good conference.

Apples and oranges. Roy has coached at KU and UNC. Two programs with already built winning history.
Except to recruit Raymond Felton, Rashad McCants, and Sean May....They played a minor role in a national title.
Noone is saying Roy cant coach, but he isnt exactly taking coal and making diamonds.
Hard to judge Carolina since theyve basically had dean smith and his former assistants for 50 years.
As for Kansas... anyone who coaches there manages to get at least one final 4..

Looks like Bill Self also has 300 wins. Have to assume he was the fastest to get to 300 in the big xii?
maybe one of the reasons every kansas coach has a final four appearance is because they hire outstanding coaches? with all the prestige of a Carolina or Kansas, its not like any scrub can just take over and get 300 wins in under 11 seasons.
dismiss it all you want but i think any coach who does that deserves respect.
Yeah.. from what i can find he did it in 359 games, Roy Williams did it in 370 at kansas.
Its probably a bit of both. You dont get the job off the street but having the talent kansas has can make a relatively average coach look like a star
everybody says this, but can you give me any examples? i can think of many coaches who have done the opposite, where they take over a program that's had success and don't do well.
