Baltimore Sports and Life: Q&A w/ National Analysts (Feb. 2011)
http://baltimorespor...ional-analysts/
Baltimore Sports and Life: “Coach Williams has taken 4 schools to post-season play, has the 3rd most wins all-time in the ACC (Dean Smith, Mike Krzyewski), and is closing in on 700 career wins. Will he be voted into the Hall of Fame?”
Huguenin: “Gary Williams is a Hall of Fame Coach. He’s not the easiest guy to get along with and he’s not afraid to make his opinions known about the state of recruiting these days – but his record is extremely impressive, he has coached some fabulous players and his team comes to play every time out.”
Bilas: “As I noted earlier, he should be there already. Gary has accomplished more than many current members of the Hall of Fame. They say it is just a matter of time, but I am personally tired of waiting. He deserves to be in now. Gary Williams is one of the best coaches in the history of this game. Period. His accomplishments and longevity put him on the ACC’s Mount Rushmore with Dean Smith and Coach K.”
DeCourcy: “I don’t know if he will. That’s hard to judge. I know that he should. That’s not debatable.”
Gary Williams accomplished the following:
1 National Title
ACC & Big East Regular Season Championships (Multiple)
1x National Coach of the Year.
2x ACC Coach of the Year.
3rd All-Time in the ACC in Wins.
Took 4 Universities to Post-Season Play
Took 9 Teams to the Sweet 16
667-376 All-Time
