Another interesting note, Doherty was a frontrunner for the Tulsa opeing before they recently hired Doug Wojcik, a Tom Izzo assistant who was an assistant under Doherty at UNC. It seems that if you want a D1 head coaching job, go work under Izzo for a few years, its like a head coaching factory there. -- Fordham Rams Basketball Message Board

In reply to: Jombo65 's message, "Notre Dame to UNC to Stony Brook. That is bizarre. On the other hand he may not have had any offers since leaving UNC. Speaking of UNC, if they win tonight I am tied in a pool. The tiebreaker is total pts. I picked 132, the other entrant picked 172. Any thoughts on which is a theoretically better pick. If the total is 151 or less I win." on Mon April 04, 2005 11:17:52

Not just a factory but Izzo's assistants have been successful in their own right. Compare that to some of Coach K's assistants -- well regarded but have struggled. Snyder, Amaker, O'Toole have not known much success. Brey had a good run @ Delaware but ND has not done as well during his tenure as had been expected. One of the former Coach K assistants to keep an eye of is Jeff Capel @ VCU. (NT) -- bfg, Mon April 04, 2005 11:42:48
- Very good point. You look Crean at Marquette, Heath at Arkansas, Joplin at Toledo, and of course Brian Gregory at Dayton, all have had degrees of success. I agree that Capel is a hot coaching prospect and will land at a bigger program in the next few years. I know he played at Duke, but was he an assistant there as well?

  - I thought he was. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. (NT) -- bfg, Mon April 04, 2005 12:09:48
    - Never mind. He was not an assistant @ Duke. My bad. (NT) -- bfg, Mon April 04, 2005 13:38:23
