Did Doh take over soon enough to do his own scheduling or did he inherit most of it?

"Yes, they caused problems at UNC, but these are not the same prima donna recruits/players that think they run the show."

I can assure you that no players under Dean Smith, Bill Guthridge, or Roy Williams ever thought they ran the show. When Cliff Rozier threatened to transfer to Louisville ...

Somehow I don't think that your new coach would cotton to this thread too much.

If you ask him what Cameron has got that Moody hasn't got, he would say:

"The ugliest cheerleaders in the ACC"

You can look it up.

So, how many players will be in the rotation? Seems like SMU has a number of "first of the bench" types on this squad.

How was your recruiting class ranked last year?

Here's something else to consider: he coached a traditional powerhouse through its worst season ever, perhaps as bad as any of the traditional powerhouses have ever had in basketball, and yet, two jobs later, multiple Tar Heels (this one included) read the message boards of a "football school" in ...

Seems like a great hire for recruiting and for having someone a little older than he is on the bench.

He's about Phil Ford's age, and coached a string a college stars and pros under a legend. I wonder if Coach Doherty somehow is trying undo a few misteps he made in Chapel Hill. Smart.

I've only seen it on this board, but it is cooler that "Doh".

David Noel, a three-star receiver prospect in football from Durham, NC, was unrecruited in basketball, but Doherty offered him a walk-on position on the Tar Heels and promised to give him a scholarship when one opened up the next year.

After being a small part of the NCAA's two years ago, David ...

Tar Heel, checking in.

Keep in mind that no one had heard of Raymond Felton when Coach Doherty starting recruiting him, either. He's a great judge of talent, if he's really excited about the kid (rather than just puffing up a "best available" kinda guy), then you should be, too. You'll know which ...

"I think DISD will have a problem with SMU as long as the average student isn't black."

Clearly, I know nothing about local hoops politics, but these kids can't all be going to historically black colleges, can they?

Hi, guys,

Tar Heel fan, here. Please excuse me if this info is already posted, but it looks like Rex Walters is getting the FAU gig.

Since Coach Doherty was holding a spot on the bench for ...

I'm not in the DFW area, but sign me up! I'm going to start bugging my local (NYC) store about an SMU jersey.

But, the downside is that NC State fans and dook* fans who didn't already like SMU (I've seen a few dook*/smu fans on your site already) now hate you. You might as well hate 'em back ...
