How will Matt Doherty do at UNC?

Posted: Tuesday July 11, 2000 05:03 PM

Can the former Notre Dame head coach fill the shoes of the legendary Dean Smith at North Carolina? Stephen Dunn/Allsport

Notre Dame basketball coach Matt Doherty is heading back to his alma mater, North Carolina, to become the school's new basketball coach. What do you think of UNC's pick?

Will he be able to carry on the great Tar Heel tradition? Has the prestige of the coaching position been negatively affected by UNC having to settle for their, at best, second choice? And how will Notre Dame deal with the coaching loss after only having Doherty for one season?

Enter your thoughts below (in 50 words or less) and we'll post some of the most interesting responses in the coming days.
