Doherty: Campbell postgame
BUIES CREEK _ The stage lights aren't nearly so bright in the Atlantic Sun as in the ACC. But Matt Doherty, now at Florida Atlantic after two years out of coaching, says the thrill is not gone.
More later on how he's gained perspective on life and coaching. But here are a couple of interesting Doherty comments following FAU's 97-88 victory over Campbell Tuesday night:
"We have that same feeling you have preparing to beat Duke. When we came over on that bus, it reminded me of the bus ride from Chapel Hill to Duke. My same gut feelings walking into Carter Gymnasium as it was walking into Cameron Indoor Stadium. It's just that less people are watching."
On what he misses about coaching in the ACC:
"I miss: It's always the big game. It's going over to Duke, and that's the game everyone's talking about. Being in the main arena is a pretty cool feeling. Then, staying at the Ritz-Carlton isn't bad. Eating at Morton's once in a while isn't bad. But I don't mind Applebee's or Outback. And the Comfort Inn in Fuquay's not a bad spot."
