You wouldn’t expect objectivity from the Duke Basketball Report in a story about a former North Carolina coach, and thankfully, we get none in their review of Matt Doherty’s new gig at Florida Atlantic.
It’s a nice piece with a few stories of Doh’s UNC career that I hadn’t heard.
I also liked two aspects they revealed of his new job. First is that FAU averaged fewer than 550 fans at their home games last year. The other is that Doherty helped raise money for his own salary! How weird is that? I don’t know what’s worse, that he begged people to chip in to pay his salary, or that he did it to join a school that averages fewer than 550 fans per game.
