Customer Reviews

A book you cannot put down

Pick up this book for the first time and you will not be able to put it down until you've finished it. You'll be more into this book than Jeff McInnis was into Phil Ford's wife.

Best fiction ever!

This book really helped me get all the way through college. It was an excellent resource for my relationships and human behavior project for my Psychology class. I think my future is really bright after studying Coach Doherty's style of coaching. I plan to buy more copies for Christmas presents for my friends Roy, Rasheed, and MaryJane.I must say David DeWitt is as brilliant as Art Chansky!

Recommended reading for parents of basketball stars

I'm the mother of former McDonald's All-American basketball superstar Jawab Williams. Coach Doherty sweet-talked us into accepting the basketball scholarship at the University of Carolina, where he promised Jawab a starting spot at the small forward position. It turned out that last year, he was forced to play power forward against the likes of Chris Wilcox. This year, with the injury of Sean May, he was forced to play CENTER (!) against Ryan Randle, Shelden Williams, Travis Watson, etc.Right now, let's just say my son's career is as bright as that of my car's mechanic.

A True Collector's Item for all Carolina Haters!

This publication reflects upon the wonderful era of UNC Chapel Hill Basketball under Matt "DOH"erty's tenure. Doh did what Dean could never do. He made the fans of every other school in the country happy with the state of University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Basketball.The literature of this particular book discusses the bright future of UNCCH's Naive, I mean NATIVE Son at the helm of the Tar Hole program. It also gives a revealing look at the way UNC-Chapel Hill writers salivate uncontrollably at the chance to publish flowery reflections of "days of glory" in the past, present, and future.Be on the lookout for the addendum where the Author admits his ignorance and explains Doherty's ineptitude as a floor leader and head coach. It will be entitled "Hammer Time," refering to Doherty's claim that "the hammer will drop next year" on opponents that were thrashing him during an 8-20 season. The Hammer certainly dropped, on him.This book makes a great gift for that annoying UNC Chapel Hill friend of yours...

A TRUE COLLECTORS ITEM !

Matt Doherty embodies everything that is great about Carolina basketball. I have a three year old son that I want to send to UNC to play for Coach D. My friends Phil and Dean love this book too. All Carolina basketball fans should have a copy of this book.
