Glad to see Williams included in the HOF. When he took over at Ohio State we were an NIT team. He led the Bucks to the only NCAA tourney of my student days, a win over Kentucky, and a 3 point loss to eventual Final Four team Georgetown (after the Bucks blew a 16 point lead). That was basketball excitement we hadn't seen my first 3 years.
When his alma mater called he left a strong team in the hands of Randy Ayers, who road Williams' coattails to a couple good seasons before destroying the program. Williams eventually led Maryland to a national championship.

"The future is bright at Ohio State."
I definitely do think that. I remembered how his last team imploded. The number of off field incidents was ridiculous. Not just 1 or 2 head cases. It felt like Derrick Anderson escaped to UK. Also not entirely sure but I think Williams got J.J. Randy looked like he was over his head at OSU.

Saying Randy Ayers was a "good coach" is a little bit of a stretch; especially since he was fired. If he was a good coach he would probably still be the basketball coach at Ohio State. To be called a good coach I think he has to actually be good in ALL aspects of the job, i.e.:
1) a good basketball coach and I think he was.
2) a good coach has to be a good recruiter and I think he was (unfortunately see #3)
3) a good coach has to be able to evaluate a players character (and determine if he will fit the schools program ) and recruit accordingly.
4) a good coach has to monitor his players when off the court both in and out of the classroom. Here's where he failed miserably. Regardless he was responsible for the Ohio State basketball program and it literally became a gross embarrassment with so many players having run-ins with the law. Too many of his players were more interested in robbing convenience stores, trashing/robbing cars in parking garages, getting into fights and/or shooting another teammate's car, etc. than playing basketball and/or going to class.
A couple examples:
1) One day after his program was rocked by another controversy, Ohio State basketball coach Randy Ayers kicked forward Gerald Eaker off the team Wednesday and indefinitely suspended guard Greg Simpson. The 6-foot-11-inch Eaker, who attended St. Joseph High School in Westchester, was dismissed immediately. Simpson will retain his scholarship and may not miss a game. The action was in response to the latest in a series of skirmishes with the law by Ohio State basketball players.
2) Freshmen Jami Bosley and Scott Gradney were dropped from the Ohio State basketball team today for their alleged roles in several campus car break-ins. The two will not have their scholarships renewed, coach Randy Ayers said.

No. Saying he was a good coach means he was a good coach. He brought in top talent that as far as I recall, didn't have histories of bad behavior. When they exhibited poor decision making skills, they were removed from the program. For fucks sake, Charles Macon was busted stealing gas in Indiana. Not sure how Randy was supposed to keep that from happening.
Jim Tressel lying to the NCAA doesn't mean he wasn't one of the top five coaches in tOSU history.
All imo, of course

Williams left after 3 winning seasons at OSU. Randy Ayers' first 4 years were also over .500, then he was 39-72 his last 4 years - all losing seasons - as OSU's coach. Spin that any way you like but it's no accident that he's been merely an assistant coach in the 21st century. He was handed a great opportunity and failed. Chump.
