Roy Williams.  He was on the JV team at UNC but that's it, he wasn't on the real team.

I would count JV teams and even freshman teams, especially when freshmen weren't allowed to play varsity. It may not be varsity, but you're still competing at a decent level and getting coached too.

Bruce Weber played college baseball, but not hoops.

I don't believe Bruce Pearl played college ball.

Billy Gillispie played only at the JUCO level.

Okay then, I don't believe Bruce Weber played when he was at UWM.  He was already coaching at that point as an assistant coach at Marquette High.

Bruce Pearl never played either.  He was a student assistant and part-time mascot at Boston College.

If you don't count JUCO ball then Billy Gillespie didn't play.  He was a basketball/baseball player at his JUCO but never played beyond that.
