2009, winning their 27th regular-season Atlantic Coast Conference championship. UNC has
won 17 regular-season championships outright,
shared 10 others and won 17 ACC Tournament
titles. Carolina’s 27 regular-season titles are
nine more than Duke and four more than the
other 10 ACC teams combined.
ACC 50
The Tar Heels placed 12 on the ACC 50th
Anniversary Team, more than any other school.
Carolina’s honorees included Lennie Rosenbluth, Billy Cunningham, Larry Miller, Charles
Scott, Bobby Jones, Walter Davis, Phil Ford,
James Worthy, Sam Perkins, Michael Jordan,
Brad Daugherty and Antawn Jamison.
ACC Players of the Year
Twelve Tar Heels have been named ACC
Player of the Year, including Larry Miller,
who won the award in 1967 and 1968. Other
Tar Heel recipients include Lennie Rosenbluth
(1957), Pete Brennan (1958), Lee Shaffer
(1960), Billy Cunningham (1965), Mitch Kupchak (1976), Phil Ford (1978), Michael Jordan
(1984), Antawn Jamison (1998), Joseph Forte
(2001), Tyler Hansbrough (2008) and Ty Lawson (2009).
When Hansbrough and Lawson started
against LSU in the second round of the 2009
NCAA Tournament, it marked the first time in
ACC history that two active ACC Players of the
Year were on the court at the same time.
All-Americas
Forty-nine Tar Heels have earned All-Ameri88
ca honors, including 34 first-team honorees. The
most recent first-team selections are Tyler Hansbrough in 2005-06, 2006-07, 2007-08 and 200809, and Ty Lawson in 2008-09. Hansbrough is
the first player in ACC history to earn first-team
All-America honors in each of his four seasons.
Jack Cobb (1924-26), Phil Ford (1976-78),
Mike O’Koren (1978-80) and Sam Perkins
(1982-84) earned first-team All-America honors
on three occasions. Hansbrough, Ford, O’Koren,
Perkins, NC State’s David Thompson and Virginia’s Ralph Sampson are the only players in
ACC history to earn first-team All-America
honors at least three times.
Sixteen Tar Heels have earned consensus
first-team All-America honors a total of 25
times, which is second in NCAA history. They
include Cartwright Carmichael (1923 and 1924),
Jack Cobb (1924, 1925 and 1926), George Glamack (1940 and 1941), Lennie Rosenbluth
(1957), Larry Miller (1968), Robert McAdoo
(1972), Ford (1977 and 1978), James Worthy
(1982), Michael Jordan (1983 and 1984), Perkins (1983 and 1984), Kenny Smith (1987), J.R.
Reid (1988), Jerry Stackhouse (1995), Antawn
Jamison (1998), Joseph Forte (2001) and Tyler
Hansbrough (2007, 2008 and 2009).
Hansbrough became the 14th player since
1945 to earn consensus first-team All-America honors three times. He was the first since
Georgetown’s Patrick Ewing and Oklahoma’s
Wayman Tisdale in 1985.
All-ACC
Carolina has placed 69 players on the AllACC first team, the most in league history.
Duke is second with 56. Tyler Hansbrough was
a unanimous selection in 2005-06, 2006-07,
2007-08 and 2008-09. He is the only player
to earn first-team All-ACC honors four times.
Point guard Ty Lawson was also a first-team selection in 2008-09 and was the ACC Player of
the Year, the first point guard to win the award
since Carolina’s Phil Ford in 1978.
Last year marked the 22nd season in which
two Tar Heels made first-team All-ACC. Duke
is second with 15 seasons with multiple selections. The rest of the ACC has combined to accomplish that just 21 times.
In addition to Hansbrough, six Tar Heels
earned first-team honors three times – Lennie
Rosenbluth (1956-58), York Larese (1959-61),
Billy Cunningham (1963-65), Charles Scott
(1968-70), Phil Ford (1976-78), Sam Perkins
(1982-84) and Antawn Jamison (1996-98).

Wayne Ellington in 2009.
Carolina has had more first round draft picks
– 28 – since 1980 than any school in the country.
In 2005, Marvin Williams (2nd), Raymond
Felton (5th), Sean May (13th) and Rashad McCants (14th) made UNC the first school to have
four players taken in the NBA Draft Lottery.
UNC’s James Worthy and Brad Daugherty

Los Angeles Lakers selected Worthy in 1982;
the Cleveland Cavaliers took Daugherty No. 1
in 1986.
Michael Jordan was the third player selected
in the 1984 Draft behind Hakeem Olajuwon
(Houston) and Sam Bowie (Portland).

different Final Fours. Carolina holds the NCAA
record for most players who have played in a
Final Four with 155.

When ESPN’s award-winning SportsCentury program
selected the greatest coaches of the 20th Century, it came
as no surprise that Carolina basketball coach Dean Smith
was among the top seven of all-time. Smith joined other
legends Red Auerbach, Bear Bryant, George Halas, Vince
Lombardi, John McGraw and John Wooden as the preeminent coaches in sports history.
Smith’s tenure as Carolina’s basketball coach from
1960-97 is a record of remarkable achievement and consistency. In 36 seasons at UNC, Smith’s teams had a record
of 879-254. His teams won more games than those of any
other Division I men’s basketball college coach in history,
a record broken in 2007 by Bob Knight.
• Smith coached Carolina to the 1982 and 1993
NCAA championships and the 1971 NIT title.
• Under Smith, the Tar Heels won at least 20 games for
27 straight years and 30 of his final 31. No coach in history
has ever produced that many consecutive 20-win seasons.
• Carolina was ranked in the final Top 10 of both the
Associated Press and coaches’ polls each year from 198189. That nine-year run is the second-longest streak of Top
10 finishes in history, exceeded only by UCLA’s 13-year
string from 1967 to 1979.
• The Tar Heels were ranked among the nation’s final
Top 15 teams in 28 of his last 31 seasons, missing only
in 1970, 1990 and 1996, and were among the Top 10 on
23 occasions during that period. Smith’s teams finished the
season ranked No. 1 in at least one of the two major polls
four times (1982, 1984, 1993 and 1994).
• Smith’s teams were also the dominant force in the
ACC. The Tar Heels under Smith had a record of 364-136
in ACC regular-season play, a winning percentage of .728.
• The Tar Heels finished at least third in the ACC regular-season standings for 33 successive seasons. In that
span, Carolina finished first 17 times, second 11 times and
third five times.
• Smith’s teams finished in the ACC upper division all
but one time. That was in 1964, when Carolina was fifth
and had its only losing record in ACC regular-season play
under Smith at 6-8.
• Carolina won 13 ACC Tournaments under Smith.
Mike Krzyzewski of Duke ranks second in ACC Tournament titles with 11.
• His teams played in 11 Final Fours, second in number
only to Wooden, who had 12.
• Smith’s teams made 23 consecutive appearances in the
NCAA Tournament.
• In his last 31 years, Smith led the Tar Heels into the
NCAA Tournament 27 times.
• Carolina reached the Sweet 16 of NCAA play each
season from 1981-93. That 13-year streak is the secondlongest in Tournament history to a 14-year stretch by
UCLA from 1967 to 1980.
The awards and accolades continue to be given to Smith,
even after he stepped down as Carolina’s head coach on
October 9, 1997. Smith was named Sportsman of the Year
by Sports Illustrated, Honorary Coach of the Year by the
United States Olympic Committee, received the Arthur
Ashe Award for Courage at the annual ESPY Awards,
and was honored with special awards for contributions to
basketball by the Atlanta Tipoff Club and New York Athletic Club. He was inducted into the FIBA Hall of Fame
in 2007.
In 2006, he was named to the inaugural class of the
National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame (along with
James Naismith, John Wooden, Oscar Robertson and Bill
Russell).
Smith also became the first recipient of the Mentor
Award for Lifetime Achievement, given by the University
of North Carolina Committee on Teaching Awards for “a
broader range of teaching beyond the classroom.”
He’s recognized throughout the sports world for his
character, his innovations to the game and his ability to
have established Carolina’s program as one of the greatest
in college basketball. Smith’s players consistently produce
on the floor, in the classroom and in life.
When Smith broke Rupp’s record in 1997, his coaching
peers had this to say.
John Wooden: “What’s more impressive to me about
Dean than the record is how good he is as a teacher of
basketball. I’ve always said he’s a better teacher of basketball than anyone else. I couldn’t begin to teach players the
things Dean has taught them. I’ve admired him because
there’s more to him than just wins.”
Bob Knight: “Let me say some things that he won’t say.
He’s going to say an awful lot about teams and that’s the
way it should be. But let me put it in perspective. His being able to do that and do it at a single institution, do it
through all the years without ever having a problem with
any kind of recruiting violation or probation, is a very singular accomplishment in college basketball. I think it’s a
great achievement, indicative of a guy who really knows
how to coach and has decided from day one that things are
going to be done the absolute right way. He’s not going to
tell you, but just take my word for it. That’s a great, great
accomplishment for a coach.”
Mike Krzyzewski: “It’s singularly such a tremendous accomplishment. Whatever is written about him in a positive
Dean Smith (1997), John Wooden, Joe Paterno and Don Shula are the only coaches to win Sports Illustrated’s Sportsman of the Year award.

sense he justly deserves. I know he’ll give credit, as we all would, to the
players who have played for him, but in this situation the praise for him
should rise well above that for the players who played for him.”
Roy Williams: “He has a basketball program, he doesn’t have a team.
And when you have a program, you’re concerned about the kids’ entire
lives, their entire existence ... and what they’re going to do after they leave
you and what kind of effect you can have on them as they mature.”
Dave Odom: “What boggles the mind about him, at least to me, are the
numbers of nights he’s gone into the arena and been ready to compete on
every single possession. I’ve not done it anywhere close to half as often
and there are nights when it seems the season will never end. And yet, he’s
there, ready to go, always figuring out a way to beat you. Whenever I think
about it, I shake my head in wonder.”
Terry Holland: “He has been a target for all of us who coached in the
ACC to shoot for. It is not always the most pleasant position to be in. The
Carolina program was the measuring stick to everybody who came into
the league. He has been willing to be the measuring stick. He helped create national exposure not only for North Carolina, but also for the other
ACC teams as well and made us all improve our programs.”
Perhaps his greatest form of praise on a worldwide level came when
a group of his peers, including Hall of Fame coaches Henry Iba, Pete
Newell and Auerbach, chose Smith to coach the U.S. Olympic basketball
team in the 1976 Montreal Games. The Americans finished a controversial
second to the Soviet Union at Munich in 1972.
Smith was given the challenge of trying to develop a team to regain the Gold Medal against a
group of improving international teams.
He named his long-time assistant, Bill
Guthridge, and Georgetown’s John Thompson,
to be his assistants on the Olympic Team staff.
Smith’s teaching skills were put to one of their
toughest tests.
Smith molded a group of college all-stars
into a cohesive unit during a few short weeks
in that summer of 1976 and led them to the gold
medal, sweeping through the Games undefeated
and beating Yugoslavia in the championship
game. Emphasizing a tough pressure defense
and a fast-breaking, attacking style on offense,
the Americans returned to the top of the international game.
Just as Smith used his talents to develop that
1976 all-star team into an Olympic champion,
he has prepared a host of players for successful
careers in the NBA.
“UNC is a plus-four school,” Orlando Magic
Vice President of Basketball Operations-Player Personnel John Gabriel said about Smith’s
teams, “meaning that if I rate a player as the Rich Clarkson
history
10th-best player in the NBA Draft, being a Tar Heel automatically jumps
him to number six. The plus-four rating is based upon the success of
former Tar Heels in the NBA.”
The Miami Heat’s Pat Riley, who coached former Tar Heel standout
James Worthy to three world titles with the Los Angeles Lakers, is another believer in Smith’s program.
“We always look for players from North Carolina,” said Riley. “If we
could draft players every year from North Carolina, we’d do it. You know
they know how to play. The players are so full of character like James and
Michael Jordan. I have a lot of respect for Coach Smith. I’m the beneficiary of a man who has taught all these guys how to play the game. When
they come to the pros, they’re refined. They’re ready to step right in.”
During his last 31 seasons, since Smith’s Tar Heels won their first ACC
title in 1967, the Tar Heels had a record of 813-207, winning 79.7 percent
of their games.
In 23 of those 31 seasons, Carolina won either the ACC regular-season,
tournament or both. Most schools are happy just to win 20 games in a
season. At Carolina, it became a habit. No school in the country won more
total games in that 31-year period than Carolina. UCLA was second with
751. The Tar Heels also had the most wins over his last 20 seasons with
539, and over his last 10 years with 268.
For Smith and his players, the word “class” applied to the team’s exemplary sportsmanship on the court, to its excellent academic performance
and to Smith’s belief that basketball involves many complexities that must
be learned over the course of time — that coaching and playing the game
is a classroom situation in its own right.
Smith’s teams have won championships at every level. There were
NCAA titles in 1982 and 1993 and the NIT in 1971. His gold medalwinning team at the 1976 Summer Olympic Games makes Smith one of
only three men in history to coach teams to that troika of an NCAA title,
NIT championship and Olympic victory. The others are Pete Newell and
Bob Knight.
Smith’s coaching skills and dedication to playing with class are the
reasons he was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of
Fame in Springfield, Mass., in 1983. He was also inducted into the North
Carolina Sports Hall of Fame in 1981.
A key to Smith’s success was his ability to change Carolina’s style to fit
his personnel. He favored an offense which used the fast break whenever
possible and featured a quick passing attack.
But, he was also comfortable in a more disciplined style of play. He liked to play multiple
defenses to confuse opponents. However, his
preference was a pressure, man-to-man to speed
up the action.
The fast-breaking attack, great teamwork in
a set offense and steals produced by the defense
resulted in a number of easy baskets. Along
with good shot selection, those things have
helped Carolina annually rank among the best
shooting teams in the nation. Carolina failed to
hit at least 50 percent from the field just four
time in his last 27 years. Even in those four
seasons, Carolina topped the ACC in field goal
shooting each year.
Among Smith’s many innovations were the
Four Corners offense, crediting the passer, the
run-and-jump defense, the scramble defense out
of man-to-man pressure, the point zone, team
huddles at the foul line, double-teaming the
screen-and-roll, the freelance passing game and
multiple screens against zone defenses.

1982 NCAA CHAMPIONS
Every Carolina Basketball fan remembers “The Shot.” It is the most
famous play in Tar Heel history and one of the most famous in college
athletics. It won Dean Smith his first national championship and launched
Michael Jordan as the greatest player in the sport’s history.
Eric “Sleepy” Floyd had just hit a jumper in the lane to give Georgetown a 62-61 lead as 61,612 fans looked on at the New Orleans Superdome. Carolina called a timeout with 32 seconds remaining. Smith
instructed point guard Jimmy Black to draw the Hoya zone defense to
one side of the court and look to get the ball inside to James Worthy.
But Black couldn’t get the ball to Worthy. Smith had designed the play
so that if that happened, Black could swing the ball to an open man on
the far side of the court. Black found that open man, freshman Michael
Jordan.
Jordan stood 16 feet to the left of the basket. Catch-jump-shoot. No
hesitation. The ball found the bottom of the net. Carolina 63, Georgetown 62. Fifteen seconds remained on the clock.
Georgetown’s Fred Brown got the ball near mid-court and looked for
an open teammate.
He passed the ball

Worthy had 16 points and Matt Doherty had 11 points and four assists.
Carolina led 34-31 at the half, but the game is most remembered for the
Tar Heels’ use of a delay game in the second half. Leading 44-43 with
7:34 to play, Carolina held the ball. Doherty hit three free throws in the
last 28 seconds to win the game.
Top-ranked and top-seeded Carolina then survived a scare from James
Madison in the first round of the NCAA Tournament, beating the Dukes
52-50 in Charlotte. A 74-69 win over Alabama and a 70-60 triumph over
Villanova in Raleigh’s Reynolds Coliseum sent the Tar Heels to New
Orleans for the Final Four.
Senior guard Jimmy Black was one of five starters in double figures
in the regional final win over Villanova. Black had 11 points and 10 assists.
Dean Smith on 1982 — “We had three starters back from the
year before, plus Matt Doherty, who I counted as a co-starter in 1981.
Two of our best games all year were in New Orleans against Houston
and Georgetown. Jordan had his best game as a freshman in the final, but
Worthy was the obvious MVP. His play gets overshadowed because of
Michael’s shot. And Perkins was a true hero for his play against Olajuwon in the semifinals. He was sensational.
“The play was No. 1 to post up Worthy, then have Perkins come in behind him. Or you could go crosscourt to the wing for Michael and he was
wide open from 17-18 feet. It looked good, I was right in line with him.
Then we we put on our scramble defense. Worthy was out of position,
but Jordan stopped the pass that made Fred Brown throw it away.”

The Tar Heels lost to Dayton, 76-62, in the
national semifinals in Louisville, Ky. Flyer forward Don May scored 34 points and grabbed 15
rebounds. Clark had 19 points and 11 rebounds
and Miller scored 13 points and grabbed 13 rebounds.
“The big thing is we had to win the ACC
Tournament before we could even go to the
NCAA Tournament,” says Coach Smith. “I
was concerned about how we would do in the
NCAAs in overcoming the excitement of winning the ACC Tournament. We did go to the
Final Four with three sophomore starters that
year. That was a thrilling time.”
1968
Carolina beat Ohio State, 80-66, to advance
to the national championship game. Junior
forward Bill Bunting had 17 points and 12 rebounds and Miller logged 20 points and six rebounds. Miller had earned All-America honors

“We were ready this time for the NCAAs,

“We were great against undefeated St. Bonaventure with Bob Lanier in the opening round. The

Phil Ford, Dean Smith and the Tar Heels reached the 1977 NCAA championship game.
“This was one of our great teams,” says
Coach Smith. “We played extremely well to get
to the Final Four, paying back South Carolina
for beating us in the ACC Tournament the year
before. We beat a very good Penn team. We
were ranked No. 2 in the nation and UCLA was
No.1. I think we looked past Florida State ahead
to UCLA. McAdoo fouled out with 13 minutes

Al Wood scored a Final Four-record 39

Injuries dominated the storylines in the incredible run to the championship game.
In the second round, Phil Ford scored 27
points to lead the Tar Heels, playing without an
injured Walter Davis, to a 69-66 win over Purdue. On St. Patrick’s Day, the Tar Heels trailed
Notre Dame by 14 in the second half, but John
Kuester had 14 points, eight assists and seven
steals and Ford scored 29 points, including two
free throws with two seconds remaining, to earn
a 79-77 win.
Davis, despite a broken finger, scored 21
points as the Tar Heels beat Kentucky, 79-72, in
the East Regional final.
The Tar Heels trailed UNLV, 49-43, at the
half, in the national semifinals, but the Tar
Heels prevailed, 84-83, behind freshman Mike
O’Koren’s 31 points and eight rebounds. Davis
made all seven of his field goal attempts and finished with 19 points.
In the championship, Al McGuire’s Warriors
built a 39-27 lead, but Carolina surged ahead in
the second half. However, Butch Lee (19), Bo
Ellis and Jim Boylan (14 apiece) led Marquette
to the title.
“Coach Guthridge called that our most
amazing year,” says Coach Smith. “We had
more huggers that year – that means when the
game is over we are all hugging in the dressing room. We lost our All-America center Tom

ACC championship game. Carolina trailed Murray State by a point at halftime in the first round,
but won 80-70 behind Jerry Stackhouse’s 25
points, 11 rebounds and five assists. Wins over
Iowa State and Allen Iverson-led Georgetown
set up a regional final between No. 2 UNC and
No. 1 Kentucky in Birmingham, Ala., the heart
of SEC country.
Stackhouse was brilliant with 18 points, 12
boards and six assists as Carolina won, 74-61.
Donald Williams had 18 points, Rasheed Wallace added 12 and the Tar Heels held Kentucky
to 28 percent shooting from the floor (7 of 36
from three-point range).
Defending NCAA champion Arkansas beat
the Tar Heels, 75-68, in the national semifinals
in Seattle. Stackhouse scored 18 points, but
could only play 28 minutes due to a deep thigh
bruise, an injury he suffered 12 seconds into the
game.
“That was a special year,” says Coach Smith.
“We lost five seniors and were not deep, but
Stackhouse and Wallace were a year older and
very talented. Before the regional final, we told
the team Kentucky had their celebration party
scheduled, and Stackhouse held up his hand and
said, ‘Yeah, I’m going to go to it and celebrate.’
He was so fired up. What a great competitor.
Kentucky was very good. It was tough winning
in Birmingham. But I was really
worried about stopping Allen Iverson and beating Georgetown. You
never know what would have happened if Stackhouse had not gotten
hurt against Arkansas.”
Rasheed Wallace helped lead UNC to the 1995 Final Four.

1997
Carolina began ACC play with
three consecutive losses for the first
time ever. The second of those losses was a Smith Center debacle in
which Carolina led Maryland by 22
in the second half but lost by 10.
However, the Tar Heels ran off
an improbable 16-game win streak,
won the ACC Tournament and
earned another trip to the Final

Carolina shot poorly in Indianapolis in the
Final Four, connecting on a season-low 31.1
percent from the floor, and was beaten by Arizona, 66-58. Carter had 21 points and Jamison
had 18 points and 11 rebounds. Arizona guards
Miles Simon and Mike Bibby scored 24 and 20,
respectively.
“Fairfield was a remarkable game,” says
Smith. “That was probably our best offensive
game since Loyola Marymount (1988), but
they kept making threes. There was too much
going on about the number of wins and the record. I thought it could affect us against Colorado. Then I was really impressed with our team
against Louisville. We had a big lead and they
cut it to six and I took a timeout. I said, ‘We
could let them have it, we’ve had a pretty good
year,’ and Ademola Okulaja spoke up and said
‘What do you mean?’ And we went on to beat
them pretty badly.”
2000
The Tar Heels entered NCAA Tournament
play as a No. 8 seed after a disappointing season that included a four-game losing streak and
a first-round exit in the ACC Tournament. The
No. 8 seed equaled the lowest in UNC history.
Center Brendan Haywood scored a career
high 28 points and grabbed 15 rebounds to lead
the Tar Heels to an 84-70 victory over Missouri
in the first round.
Carolina, led by forward Jason Capel, stymied third-ranked and No. 1 seed Stanford in
the second round, holding the Cardinal to 34
percent shooting. Freshman Joseph Forte led all
scorers with 17 points.
Forte scored 22 points and Carolina overcame a seven-point deficit with Haywood on
the bench to beat Tennessee, 74-69, in Austin,
Texas, in the regional semifinal. Cota scored key
late baskets and Carolina got stellar post play
off the bench from Julius Peppers.
Forte had 28 points and eight rebounds in the
regional final to beat Tulsa.
Carolina lost to Florida in the national semifinals in Indianapolis despite Haywood’s 20
points and 12 rebounds. The Tar Heels overcame a 15-point deficit to take the lead in the
second half, but fell behind after Cota went to
the bench with four fouls.
2008
The Tar Heels were the No. 1 overall seed in
the NCAA Tournament and East Regional in
2008. Carolina was a No. 1 seed for an NCAArecord 12th time and the third time in four years
(2005-07-08).
Carolina opened the NCAA Tournament
by reaching the 100-point mark in consecutive games. The Tar Heels trounced Mount St.
Mary’s 113-74 and Arkansas 108-77 at the RBC
Center in Raleigh. Danny Green’s 12 first-half
points keyed a 68-47 win over Washington State
in Charlotte in the Sweet 16. Tyler Hansbrough
was sensational in the 83-73 win over Louisville
in the East Regional final. Hansbrough, who
earned regional MVP honors, had 28 points and
13 rebounds against the Cardinals. He scored
20 second-half points, including a pair of jump
shots in the final minutes that sealed the victory.
Kansas jumped out to a 40-12 lead over the
Tar Heels in the national semifinals in San Antonio. UNC staged a dramatic comeback to pull
within 54-50 with 11:15 to play before the Jayhaks pulled away for an 84-66 win.

Most of the players from the 1997 Final Four

Although the players were the same, Bill
Guthridge was in his rookie season as head

turned over the reins to Guthridge, who was an
assistant under Smith for the previous 30 years.
Jamison averaged 22.9 points and 10.2 rebounds to win ACC and National Player of the

for eight weeks and regained the top spot in the
final poll after an 83-68 win over Duke in the
ACC Tournament championship game.
Carolina beat Charlotte in overtime in the
second round behind Williams’ 32 points, then
toppled rising powers Michigan State and Connecticut in Greensboro by double-digit margins.
Utah built a 13-point halftime lead in the national semifinal and Carolina could never pull
even, despite Carter’s 21 points. The Tar Heels

was held to 14 points in his final collegiate contest.

1989
Carolina breezed to the championship game,
recording a 15-point win over Georgia Tech
and a 30-point rout of eighth-seeded Maryland,
which had knocked off No. 1 seed NC State.
The 1989 ACC championship game was one
of the most memorable and intense meetings
ever between Carolina and Duke. Both teams
had won regular-season games on the other’s
home floor.
Stifling defense by both teams led to 44 turnovers, 26 of which the Tar Heels committed.
J.R. Reid had 14 points and nine rebounds and
Steve Bucknall had 10 points and five assists to
lead UNC. The game was tied five times in the
second half and Duke led just once, with 5:28
to play. Bucknall hit a driving basket and free
throw with 1:46 remaining to break a 66-all tie.
Bucknall and King Rice both went 4 for 4 from
the line to clinch the win.
Reid (16.0 points, 8.0 rebounds per game)
won MVP honors. Point guard Jeff Lebo (10.7
points, 3.0 assists) joined him on the first-team.
Carolina has played one double-overtime game in ACC Tournament history, an 84-82 win over Virginia in the 1987 semifinals.
2009 NCAA
champions
1991
After hard-fought victories over Clemson and
Virginia, the Tar Heels met a Duke team in the
championship game that had swept the regularseason series from UNC. Carolina raced out to
a 15-4 lead and thrashed Duke, 96-74. Fox made
10 of 16 field goal attempts for 25 points and
Hubert Davis netted 17. Rice had 12 points and
seven assists and did not commit a turnover. Fox
averaged 17.3 points and 9 rebounds over the
three games and was named MVP. Davis averaged 13.7 points and hit nearly 64 percent from
three-point range in the Tournament.
The win was the largest in the finals since
Carolina beat NC State, 87-50, in 1968.

1994
Carolina faced Wake Forest in the semifinal
in what proved to be one of the most exciting
games in ACC Tournament history. Wake Forest led, 76-70, with 2:15 to play, but Derrick
Phelps helped cut the deficit to three with 11
seconds left. Phelps then made the first of two
free throws and rebounded his own miss on the
second. He fed Dante Calabria who drove the
lane and hit a twisting bank shot with three seconds remaining for a tie at 81.
Carolina led 84-81 in overtime, but a threepointer by Rusty LaRue tied the game with 39
seconds left. UNC freshman Jerry Stackhouse,
the Tournament’s MVP, hit the game-winner on
a baseline drive with five seconds to play. Wake
Forest guard Randolph Childress, who scored
31 points, just missed a long three-pointer as the
clock expired.
Stackhouse had 14 points and seven rebounds
and Eric Montross added 12 points and nine rebounds to lead Carolina past Virginia, 73-66, in
the title game.
1998
Carolina repeated as Tournament champions
for the first time since 1981-82 with victories
over NC State, Maryland and Duke. Those wins
avenged regular-season losses against the same
three opponents. Jamison injured a muscle in
the overtime win over the Terrapins in the semifinal, and was questionable for Sunday’s championship game. However, Jamison was relentless against the Blue Devils, sparking UNC to a
15-point win over the nation’s top-ranked team
with a 22-point, 18-rebound effort that ranks as
one of the finest in championship game history.
Jamison had 25 points in the opening round
win over the Wolfpack. The Tar Heels trailed
throughout much of the second half against
Maryland, but rallied behind Shammond Williams to force overtime. Williams added 10
points in the extra stanza to lead Carolina to an
83-73 triumph.
Carolina’s win over Duke in the championship game was UNC’s sixth in title game matchups against the Blue Devils. The game was tied
at 57 with less than 11 minutes to play, but the
Tar Heels reeled off the next 13 points. Carolina
finished the game shooting 54.4 percent from
the floor, while Duke hit on just 32.8 percent
of its field goal attempts. Williams and Vince
Carter had 19 and 16 points, respectively.
1997
The Tar Heels lost their first three ACC
regular-season games, but rallied to go 8-0 in
the second half to finish tied for second place.
Carolina then swept past Virginia, Wake Forest
and NC State to claim its 14th Tournament title.
Junior guard Shammond Williams earned MVP
honors, averaging 20.0 points and 5.0 assists.
Antawn Jamison scored 24 points and grabbed
10 rebounds and point guard Ed Cota had 11
points and 10 assists in the 78-68 quarterfinal
win over Virginia. Williams made eight of 11
shots, including four of seven three-pointers, in
an 86-73 triumph over the Tim Duncan-led Demon Deacons in the semifinals.
In the championship game, Williams again
led Carolina with 23 points, nine of which
came on a trio of three-point baskets in a 2:02
span midway through the second half. Jamison
added 17 points and a game-high 11 rebounds.
Carolina shot 59.0 percent from the floor, the
third-highest percentage ever by the winning
team in an ACC final.
2007
Carolina won its 16th ACC Tournament in
2007 in Tampa, Fla., with wins over Florida
State, Boston College and NC State. Prior to
2007, the last time UNC had won both a share of
the ACC regular season title and the ACC Tournament in the same season was 1982.
As the Tournament’s top seed, Carolina beat
No. 9 seed Florida State in the quarterfinals.
Wayne Ellington scored 18 points to lead four
double-figure scorers in the win over the Seminoles. Brandan Wright scored 20 points to lead
the top-seeded Tar Heels to a 71-56 win over
No. 4 seed Boston College in the semifinals.
All five Tar Heel starters scored in double
figures as Carolina beat NC State, 89-80, in the
final. Reyshawn Terry scored eight consecutive
points in a late-game stretch to capture the win.
Wright was named MVP, becoming the fifth
freshman and fourth Tar Heel freshman to do
so. Wright joined UNC’s Phil Ford (1978), Sam
Perkins (1981) and Jerry Stackhouse (1994)
and Duke’s Jason Williams (2000) as those to

2008
Carolina beat Florida State, Virginia Tech and
Clemson to win the 2008 ACC title, its second
in a row and an ACC-record 17th overall. The
Tar Heels have won back-to-back ACC Tournament titles five times — 1967-68, 1968-69,
1981-82, 1997-98 and 2007-08.
Tyler Hansbrough, Wayne Ellington and Marcus Ginyard were named to the ACC All-Tournament First Team.
Virginia Tech led most of the game in the
semifinals. Ellington hit a pair of three-pointers
late to tie the game before Hansbrough hit a
baseline jump shot with 0.8 seconds left for a
68-66 win. Ellington made 10 of 13 shots from
the floor and had 24 points in the championship
game win over Clemson.
Hansbrough had 26 points and nine rebounds
against the Hokies and 18 points and 11 rebounds in the finals to earn MVP honors.
Two Tar Heels (Robert McAdoo and Michael Jordan) went on to win Most Valuable Player honors in the NBA and Billy Cunningham did so in the ABA.

history
1957 Season
The Tar Heels had to pull out numerous
close games to preserve their perfect 32-0
record and NCAA title. Win No. 17 was a 6561 triumph over Maryland in double overtime.
Tommy Kearns’ free throws provided the winning margin in the 18th consecutive win, 7573, over Duke. The Tar Heels beat Wake Forest
for the fourth time in that one year in the ACC
Tournament semifinals. Carolina trailed with
less than a minute left, but squeaked out a 6159 win.
Those close games were nothing compared
to the drama that unfolded in the Final Four in
Kansas City. The Tar Heels won back-to-back
triple overtime games against Michigan State
and Kansas to capture UNC’s first NCAA championship. Pete Brennan’s jumper against Michigan State was a key play that extended the game
into the second overtime. Joe Quigg’s two free
throws with six seconds remaining in the third
overtime gave Carolina a 54-53 win over Kansas and Wilt Chamberlain in the final. In 1999,
Sports Illustrated selected the 1957 NCAA title
game as its second-favorite game of all-time.

forced a turnover by Toney Douglas with 3.2

PROFILE
UNC ATHLETICS ADMINISTRATION
HOLDEN THORP
CHANCELLOR
DICK BADDOUR
ATHLETIC DIRECTOR
At Carolina, Holden Thorp has been an undergraduate student, a chemistry professor, a planetarium director, an inventor and entrepreneur, as well
as a dean. He graduated with honors, won teaching
awards, led a powerhouse academic department,
developed technology for electronic DNA chips,
founded spin-off companies, and succeeded as an
administrator.
Now, as the 10th chancellor, Thorp is drawing from all of those experiences in leading Carolina among the ranks of the great research universities in the United States and around the world.
A North Carolina native, Thorp grew up in Fayetteville in a family
steeped in Carolina traditions dating to the 1800s. His father, Herb, used
to sing the alma mater, “Hark the Sound,” at bed time. When it was time
to graduate from Terry Sanford High School, there was only one school on
his college application list – UNC. He earned a bachelor of science degree
with honors in 1986.
Attending a world-class research university – where research and
teaching are done by the same people – gave Thorp opportunities to work
in chemistry labs alongside some of Carolina’s very best faculty. Those
experiences inspired him to become a college professor. He pursued that
dream at the California Institute of Technology, where he earned a doctorate in chemistry in 1989, and at Yale University for postgraduate work.
After a year teaching at N.C. State, he came back to UNC’s chemistry
department in 1993.
Before becoming chancellor on July 1, 2008, Thorp served a year as
dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, chaired the chemistry department and was director of the Morehead Planetarium and Science Center.
An accomplished musician who plays jazz bass and keyboard, Thorp
is married to Patti Worden Thorp, a Hope Mills native and UNC Greensboro graduate. Their children are John and Emma.
J.D. Lyon Jr.
Goldsboro native and Tar Heel alumnus Dick
Baddour is in his 13th year as Director of Athletics
and his 43rd year at the University of North Carolina. He directs one of the most successful and respected athletic programs in the country, known for
its commitment to academic integrity and competitive excellence in men’s and women’s sports.
During Baddour’s tenure, the Tar Heels have won 11 national championships, including six in women’s soccer, two each in men’s basketball
and field hockey and one in men’s soccer, won two football bowl games
and had numerous top 10 national finishes in Olympic sports. Nineteen
different UNC men’s and women’s teams have combined for 61 Atlantic Coast Conference championships, more than any other school in the
league over that span. UNC has led the league in the number of team
championships in seven of the last 12 seasons.

THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA
Through its teaching, research and engagement, the University of North Carolina serves
as an educational and economic beacon for the
people of North Carolina and beyond.
HISTORY
The University of North Carolina was the nation’s first state university to open its doors and
the only public university to award degrees in
the 18th century. Authorized by the North Carolina constitution in 1776, the University was
chartered by the N.C. General Assembly Dec.
11, 1789, the same year George Washington first
was inaugurated as president. The cornerstone
was laid for Old East, the nation’s first state university building, Oct. 12, 1793. Hinton James,
the first student, arrived from Wilmington, N.C.,
on Feb. 12, 1795.
RECENT RANKINGS & RATINGS
Several national publications regularly publish rankings that listed Carolina prominently
in categories ranging from academic quality to
affordability to diversity to engagement to international presence. Recent highlights include:
• First among the 100 best U.S.
public colleges and universities
that offer the best combination
of top-flight academics and affordable costs as ranked by Kiplinger’s Personal Finance magazine in December 2008. First for
eight consecutive times since
Kiplinger’s began these periodic
surveys in 1998.
• Fifth best public university
in U.S. News & World Report’s
2009 “Best Colleges” guidebook
for the ninth consecutive year.
First among public campuses for
the fifth consecutive year.
• One of seven public universities ranking in
the top 25 for all nine measures used in the 2008
edition of “The Top American Research Universities,” produced by The Center for Measuring
University Performance at Arizona State University.
• Among 25 “New Ivy” campuses in the 2007
Kaplan/Newsweek “How to Get into College
Guide.” Includes schools with first-rate academic programs fueling their rise in national
stature.
• Second among major U.S. universities in the
percentage of African-American students in the
2008 first-year class, according to The Journal
of Blacks in Higher Education. Carolina had
held the No. 1 spot for 6 of the previous nine
years. Black students made up 10.8 percent of
the entering class in 2008.
• STACK magazine ranked Tar Heel athletics
3rd based on academics, athletic opportunity
and overall performance.
UNC
PROFILE
Campus photos by Dan Sears
POINTS OF PRIDE
• In fall 2008, Carolina enrolled 3,864 students for the Class of 2012 drawn from a record
21,507 applications. That was the third straight
record for applications.
• Carolina ranks among the top U.S. public
universities in research support – a direct reflection of the quality of the research the faculty
are conducting. Carolina researchers attracted
more than $716 million in total contract and
grant funding in fiscal 2009.
Building Program
• Today, the campus benefits from an unprecedented physical transformation made possible
in part by North Carolinians’ overwhelming approval of the $3.1 billion bond referendum for
higher education. The referendum, approved in
November 2000, was the nation’s largest higher
education bond package. Through 49 projects,
the bonds have provided more than $515 million for renovations and new buildings so Carolina students can learn in a 21st century environment.
• Also guided by a visionary
campus master plan for growth,
the University has invested
funds from non-state sources,
including private gifts raised
during the Carolina First Campaign, state appropriations and
overhead receipts from faculty
research grants, for other buildings essential to excellence. The
resulting capital construction
program exceeds $2.1 billion
and is among the largest at any
major American university.
Dean Smith, Bill Guthridge, Walter Davis, Phil Ford, Mitch Kupchak, Tom LaGarde helped the United States win a gold medal at the 1976 Olympics.

students, or a Nobel Prize winner, or Hall of Fame coaches, or
championship teams, or some of the most recognizable athletes
in sports. This place is the sum of its parts – parts individually
committed to the highest level of excellence in all that they do.
It is the University of North Carolina.
It is every person working toward a goal of making themselves
better – which in turn makes Carolina, as a team, stronger. It is
the personal commitment to wake up at 5:00 a.m. for practice. It

fans. It is practicing hard day in and day out for the betterment of
the team, knowing your jersey may never feel sweat on game day.
It is busing back from a road game late at night, only to arise for
that early morning mid-term exam … and making Dean’s List. It
is an understanding that this is the Carolina Way – and it is what
it means to be a Tar Heel.
The Rams Club supports this commitment to the highest level of excellence. Please join our efforts to make this experience possible for Carolina student-athletes. And give them the opportunity to say with pride:

Center
DEAN E. SMITH CENTER
wards Smith Center, the 300,000-square-foot structure stands on seven and one-half acres of the University’s south campus. Over 20,000 cubic yards of rock
were removed to make room for the 340-foot-wide,
380-foot-long and 140-foot-high building.
Jeffrey Camarati
The 2009-10 season is the 25th in which the Tar
Heels will play in the Dean E. Smith Center. The Tar
Heels have played 330 games in the Smith Center in
front of a combined audience of more than 6.6 million fans. Carolina is 279-51 in the Smith Center, an
impressive winning mark of 84.6 percent.
Carolina was again third in the nation last year in
home attendance, attracting better than 21,000 fans
per game. The Tar Heels have been in the top five
in the national attendance leaders in 22 of the last 23
seasons.
The first game in the Smith Center featured No. 1
Carolina defeating No. 3 Duke, 95-92, in a battle of
unbeaten teams on Jan. 18, 1986. The first Tar Heel
basket was scored by Carolina center Warren Martin
off a pass from Kenny Smith.
Last year, the Tar Heels went 14-1 at home and
have an 84-10 record (.894) at home in Roy Williams’
six years as head coach. Dean Smith led the Tar Heels
to a 133-17 record (.887) in the building that bears
his name.
recent renovations
The Smith Center has undergone a number of improvements to keep it on the cutting edge of basketball arenas.
The arena’s lights and soundsystem were replaced
and the training, weight and equipment rooms were
expanded and renovated for 2009-10. A hydrotherapy
room was added for the 2008-09 season.
In January 2008, the Carolina Basketball Museum
opened in the new Williamson Athletics Center, adjacent to the Koury Natatorium. For photos and information about the museum, see CarolinaBasketballMuseum.com.
In 2006-07, the seats in the lower level and upper level ring were replaced. The playing floor was
completely refinished and refurbished for the 2007-08
campaign.
Four high-resolution video boards were installed
for the 2005-06 season. The boards measure 17.8
feet x 23.6 feet. At the same time, two 50-foot ribbon
boards were added to the fascia around the upper level
and a 40-foot video board was added to the front of
the scorer’s table.
In the early 2000s, the UNC lockerroom and weight
room were completely renovated. A new media center
was built and the Bowles Room and Rams Club offices were retrofitted to include a practice gym.

In 2000-01, a standing-roomonly section reserved for students
opened on the baseline closest to
the Carolina bench. The Rams
Club funded a $150,000 renovation that allowed approximately
400 students to move courtside.
As a multi-purpose facility, the
Smith Center has played host to a
wide range of athletic events and
concerts. In 1987, U.S. Olympic Festival basketball attracted
a Smith Center record crowd of
23,713 for the gold medal game.
In 1988, the venue served as the
site of the first and second rounds
of the NCAA East Regional. In
1994, the Smith Center hosted
the NCAA Division I Wrestling
Championships.
In 1999, the Smith Center and
Koury Natatorium served as the
basketball and aquatic venues for
the 1999 Special Olympics World
Summer Games.
Kenny Rogers staged the first
concert in the arena on April 12,
1986.
The Smith Center and Koury
Natatorium also host such community activities as the commencement ceremonies
for local high schools, University Blood Drive, University Career Fairs and UNC’s December and May
Commencement Exercises.
Prior to moving into the Smith Center, Carolina
played its home games at Carmichael Auditorium.
The Tar Heels were 169-20 at Carmichael. UNC
debuted there on Dec. 4, 1965, against William and
Mary, and finished play on Jan. 4, 1986, in a win over
NC State.
In May 1980, the Department of Athletics, in conjunction with the Educational Foundation, embarked
on a mission to raise millions of dollars from private
donations to construct an arena. The real inspiration
for the fund-raising effort came from the campaign
chairman, the late Hargrove “Skipper” Bowles.
Six years, 2,362 donors and over $34 million later,
the premiere basketball arena in America became a
reality. Dedicated in September 1986 as the Dean Ed-
The Smith Center Jerseys
One of the most prominent features in the Smith
Center is the series of banners rewarding the accomplishments of Carolina players and teams, including
national championship banners for 1923-24, 1956-57,
1981-82, 1992-93, 2004-05 and 2008-09. Also hanging high above the playing floor are 47 jerseys honoring Carolina’s greatest individual standouts.
ADJACENT FACILITIES
Adjacent to the Smith Center is the Maurice J.
Koury Natatorium and the Ernie Williamson Athletics
Center. The natatorium features an eight-lane, 50-meter pool. The Williamson Center, which houses the
Carolina Basketball Museum and much of the UNC
Athletic Department administration, opened in December 2007.
Carolina beat Duke, 95-92, on Jan. 18, 1986, in the first game at the Dean E. Smith Center.
