Well I think Roy is a better coach than Guy Lewis was. He recruits very well. But he has coached at Kansas and N. Carolina and I think Elmer Fudd could recruit very well at those schools. I've watched Roy not take a time out so many times it baffles me. BTW, I thought Guy Lewis sucked also.

I still remember CBS's lead-in story in 2003: Is tonight the night Roy Williams finally gets his national championship?

JB had been a head coach a dozen years longer than Williams and we'd been a national power the whole time.

Side-by-side numbers comparison

Roy Williams
W/L: 724-190 (.792)
2 NCAA titles
7 Final Fours

Jim Boeheim
W/L: 948-319 (.748)
1 NCAA title
4 Final Fours

JB has more wins, Roy has more titles. I don't think there is really a bad option here. Since the numbers are almost a wash, I guess you have to go with personality, right?
 
If I'm looking for someone who can tear up on command, give me Roy. Otherwise, JB has the edge on most other factors.

These numbers are "almost a wash?"
