Lebo to ECU

There have been several out of the Dean Smith/Frank McGuire/Carolina coaching family that have coaching careers ranging from very good (Roy Williams, Larry Brown, Billy Cunningham) to average/above average (George Karl, Eddie Fogler, Matt Doherty) to poor/non-descript (Jeff Lebo, Randy Wiel).

Look up Curtis Hunter's "coaching" record sometime. :eek:lol:

When I see someone like Lebo get recycled, it makes me wonder how Deano is able to sell these guys over and over again. Terry Holland is the AD at ECU, and you'd think he would be more skeptical.

Yeah, I knew I'd leave out several examples, too many to track. He's at NC Central or somewhere of similar stature, right? Even the William & Mary HC and one of his assistants are Carolina grads. Overall, a better collection than Pete Gaudet, Quin Snyder, and Tommy Ammaker! :eek:lol:

Dont forget Buzz Peterson and Matt Doherty

Yeah, I got Doherty, but I can't believe I left out Buzz. He's done well at App State (first stint anyway, second stint TBD), not so well at other stops.

Buzz is a pretty good low-major coach. That is about it. I'd not be shocked to see them in the NCAAs next year.

I never realized how many coaches had come from the UNC family. Wow.

Doug Moe, John Kuester-Pistons, Mitch Kupchak-GM/Lakers....there's quite a laundry list, of course some are/were WAAYYY better than others.

He was at North Carolina A&T. He was so horrible that since they fired him, even Deano hasn't been able to get him back into circulation.

Coach K has some other coaches on his tree. Bob Bender wasn't very good, but Jeff Capel and Mike Brey are doing well. Johnny Dawkins is trying to rebuild Stanford. Mike Dement is probably the best of them, but he's always been in impossible situations--Cornell 20 years ago (but he got them to the NCAAs anyway), UNCG as a D-1 start-up, then SMU, and now trying to fix UNCG again.

Dean Smith has health issues that he can no longer play an influential part in promoting his former staff and players. He will wave to the crowd for some ceremonial reunion but that is about it these days.

Yeah, I have a friend who's parents' pastor/minister is married to one of Dean's daughters. He's in poor health, without going in to specifics, not in a condition to be involved as he used to be, which of course is hard for him and the family. He had a really hard time after knee surgery a few years ago, which took him a while to recover from, but this is unrelated to that. Just part of growing old.
