Atlanta — University of North Carolina men's basketball coach Roy Williams joined five others Monday in being selected for induction into the Basketball Hall of Fame.

The others announced by the Hall of Fame are: Phil Jackson, who led the Lakers and Bulls to a record nine NBA titles; four-time WNBA Championship coach Van Chancellor; referee Mendy Rudolph; and international coaches Pedro Ferrandiz and Mirko Novosel.

The selections were announced in Atlanta, site of the 2007 NCAA Men's Final Four championship.

The Hall also selected the 1966 NCAA champion Texas Western team, the first team in NCAA history to win a title with five starting African-American players. Texas Western defeated an all-white Kentucky squad in the championship game.

Inductions will be held in September at the Hall of Fame in Springfield, Mass.

I still do not see how a coach who was being questioned by his own fans about his coaching/substituting can be given hall of fame status... he is a great coach, no doubt.. just seems like they needed somone to add and he gets W's.

Oh boy, Got is back spreading lies!

Thanks for the congrats, Got! I'm sure Roy appreciates it!

Congrats Roy! You deserve it. You will go down in history as one of the greats. As for big-b (no caps) it must stand for butthead cause he sounds like a total loser so there is not chance of him making the selection but to the loser Hall of Shame.

Everybody nows Roy is the best! But he needs to get his players to attend class and needs to stop giving illegal gifts to players after they graduate (but that ONLY happened in Kansas per the NCAA).

Congratulations, Coach.
