He was a recipient of the Naismith College Coach of the Year award in 1997 and has also won the AP Coach of the Year award twice.

The UNC Tar Heels Wildcats basketball program has the third-best winning record of all-time in NCAA Division 1 history. They currently hold the best record in their own division for all-time wins and all-time winning percentage.
With 50 appearances, the UNC Tar Heels rank second in all-time NCAA Tournament appearances and also in all-time wins with 126 victories.

Greatest NBA Players
UNC basketball has nurtured some of the best players to have played the game. Without a doubt, the best player to have come through their ranks is Michael Jordan. He led the team to the title back in 1982 and played for three seasons at UNC. Playing alongside him was another NBA great in James Worthy, who was later drafted #1 overall in 1982.
In the following decade, Vince Carter came through the UNC recruiting and ended up being the 1997 #5 overall pick. He played for three seasons with the Tar Heels.
Antawn Jamison, Bob McAdoo, and Walter Davis are some other NBA legends who have played for the Tar Heels
Mascot and Uniform
The mascot of the UNC Tar Heels basketball team is Rameses the Dorset Ram. The origin of the name dates back to 1924 when students cheered for Jack “The Battering Ram” Merritt, wearing a Ram costume. The first official Rameses mascot arrived over half a decade later, during the 1987-88 season.
Over the years, Rameses has had many changes to his costume. While he is supposed to look fierce, in October 2015, Rameses Jr, a friendlier cousin of Rameses, was added to the mascot team.
The Tar Heels jerseys are white and Carolina blue. Due to their Michael Jordan connection, their jerseys are sponsored by the Jordan brand.
