He led Kansas to two straight Big 12 regular-season titles and two Final Four appearances before leaving to coach the Tar Heels. Since 2005, he has led North Carolina to nine regular-season ACC conference championships. Williams has guided the Tar Heels to 20+ wins all put once in this time span and North Carolina has qualified for the NCAA Tournament every year over the past 20 seasons.
