Doherty will not resign, because he has Carolina-blue-blood flowing through his blood, and he will do anything to get this program back to the top.
Doherty obviously is a younger coach, who is unexperienced, and is in a very tough situation with a very big, well known basketball program that is his alma mater too.
Doherty is making steps in the right direction:
In the final game this season, our team actually had a game plan and executed it against Duke. We may have won, but Doherty proved that he and his staff can devise and strategy and get the team to use it. On the job, Doherty will learn more like this and it will make him a better coach.
Doherty has recruited top notch players that will help bring the talent level of the team up and hopefully our winning total too.
Doherty and his players have talked, and he now knows the rift that existed (and maybe still exists) between him and the players. Now atleast he is aware of how his players feel, and will understand why these transfers, etc. are happening. Maybe this will cause Doherty to take a different approach to his coaching style, and if not, atleast he has a better understanding of where he, his players, and the UNC basketball program stand.
I hope that Boone's transfer is the end of the bad stuff that has happened to the program lately, because I don't know if our program can take anymore.
