I mean the guy has won 2 NCs and played for 2 other NCs so he isn't a horrible or under achieving coach. I just can't call him a great coach. Coaching  his team coming off a tough loss @Wake Forest to team in Miami that lost 5 of its top 6 scorers from last year and just played Syracuse tough the previous game he couldn't get his players ready. Jim Larranaga coached circles around Roy Williams last night. I thought Larranaga's gameplan against Syracuse was executed perfectly by playing stall ball and relying on Syracuse to struggle against their zone. Against UNC, Miami didn't play stall ball, but they exploited UNC's weaknesses. Roy Williams has never impressed me as an X's and O's guy. He needs a fast PG to be able to play his game which is too run and have his athletes out athlete your team and get buckets in transition and have a big that can postup if they have to play half-court offense. If I took a poll and ranked my top 10 X's and O's college basketball coaches today I believe would it would include JB  in the top 10(even though Igor would claim otherwise), but I bet Roy Williams wouldn't be in the top 10.(even though I know PoppyHart will say otherwise)

Jim Boeheim isn't a perfect coach by any means, and has made his mistakes. However, I just can't think that if JB had all the talent that Roy has had at Kansas/North Carolina he would have won atleast 2 NCs. With all this said I still fear UNC this Saturday.
