He played in the 1981 NCAAchampionship game loss to Indiana, and started at small for- ward a year later as Carolina beat Georgetown to win the NCAAtitle. As a senior in 1984, Doherty tri-captained a team that swept through the ACC regular season with a 14-0 record and was ranked No. 1 in the coun- try in the final polls. He started on two of Carolina’s greatest teams ever — the 1982 squad that won the national title and featured James Worthy, Sam Perkins, Michael Jordan and Jimmy Black and the 1984 team that finished the season ranked No. 1 by the Associated Press and included Jordan, Perkins, Brad Daugherty and Kenny Smith. “Matt played small forward, but today it would be called point forward because he was a great passer and unselfish player,” says Coach Smith. “He was a very smart player and had great savvy. He was a tremendous passer and smart defender. He was a streaky shooter, but had some big games shooting the ball. He was always thinking pass first, especially playing with Perkins and our other post players, he knew to get the ball inside first. Matt knew the game and knew the only statistic that was important was how many games we won. He played hard and played starters minutes for four seasons.” He became just the second player in ACC history (North Carolina’s Walter Davis was the first) to accumulate 1,000 points, 400 rebounds and 400 assists in a career. He averaged 9.0 points, 3.5 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game and finished his career with 1,165 points, 446 rebounds and 446 assists in 129 games played. He played in all 101 games over his last three seasons. Freshman Season (1980-81) — The Tar Heels finished 29-8, won the ACC Tournament, finished ranked sixth nationally (both polls) and in Chapel Hill. “I’m so pleased that Matt is the head basketball coach at North Carolina because I love that program so, so much and know it’s in fan- tastic hands,” says Williams. “Matt is one of the most organized, intense and competitive coaches I have ever known, and those qualities will help keep the North Carolina basketball program where it is and where it should be, and that’s at the top of the basketball world. The greatest com- pliment I can give somebody is to say how much I love that basketball program, and along with that say I am so, so pleased that Matt Doherty is in charge. He is a Tar Heel and will continue that program at the high level of Coach Smith and Coach Guthridge.” The Jayhawks advanced to the NCAAtournament in each of his seven seasons in Lawrence. During those seven years, Kansas played in the 1993 Final Four, advanced to the Final Eight in ‘96, the Sweet 16 in ‘94, ‘95 and ‘97 - and to the second round each of his last two years. Kansas won five Big Eight/Big 12 Conference titles during his stay and compiled an overall 202-42 (.828) record, including a 15-7 mark in NCAAtournament play.
