ilhr Baihi aar Hrrl UNC baseball names assistant BY POWELL LATIMER SPORTS EDITOR North Carolina certainly didn't waste any time replacing Chad Holbrook. The assistant head coach announced his departure July 7 for South Carolina. Just eight days later. UNC had found its man: Scott Jackson. Jackson joins the Tar Heels after just one year as head coach at Liberty University . He will work with the offense anil act as UNC s recruiting coordinator. “This job is a dream come true for me," Jackson said in a press release. “When 1 started coaching 10 years ago, this is the job that 1 would have handpicked for myself at this point in my career. I'm excited, my family is excited and we can't wait to get to Chapel Hill and get rolling. "A program is all about its play ers, and 1 am excited to work with the best players in the country . I look forward to teaching them and learn ing from them at the same time." In his sole year at Liberty, Jackson guided the Flames to a 35- ‘Often wrong, never in doubt’ By the time this gets out, you all have already had the chance to celebrate: Billy Packer will no longer pro vide commentary for CBS. At first, I wanted to join in the merriment. I wanted to write 20 inches lambasting Packer, one for each year of my life that I've lis tened to him cover ACC basketball. But I couldn’t, and I'll tell you why. There are a couple of things that one cannot deny about Billy Packer. Packer didn't so much com ment on the games as butcher them, ripping apart every detail of each team’s strategy as he saw it. He at times blasted Mike Krzy7.ewski, Dean Smith, Gary Williams, Roy Williams and almost every play er who came through the conference. Duke fans hate him because they think he doesn't like Duke, UNC fans hate him because they know he hates UNC. Fans from his alma mater. Wake Forest, hate him because they feel he intentionally glosses over the team. No, seriously. I’m getting to the part where I can't lambast him. Promise.

Under his tute lage, Liberty pitchers racked up a school-record 508 strikeouts. Jackson has served as pitch ing coach at Liberty and UNC- Wilmington during the last six years but has worked with hitters in coaching stops at Campbell, Barton and Wofford, as well. He also served as head coach of the Wilmington Sharks of the Coastal Plain League in 2002, earning the league’s Coach of the Year award. In 2002, the Sharks had a record of 31-17, a league-best for that season. Jackson spent four years work ing as the pitching coach for UNC-W. from 2003-07. During his time there, UNC-W posted three straight 40-win seasons. Six pitchers whom Jackson coached were selected in the MLB Draft after going undrafted out of high school. “(Coach Mike Fox) told us what he was going to be like and that he was going to be our new coach," All-American first baseman Dustin ,T Sn Vr POWELL LATIMER SAY WORD Packer was unflinchingly arro gant and started 75 percent of his comments with some kind of negative phrase. His presenta tion was grating even to the most unbiased observer. With some of his remarks, you could almost feci his co-commentator, Jim Nantz, wince at Packer’s unadulterated self-assuredness in saying: “If I were coaching this team ...." Packer had a habit of glorifying some choice athletes who were anything hut choice students. One of his favorite players of all time was UNCs Joseph Forte, whose personal life was never as silky as his game and who fell out of the NBA after only a few seasons. He also has turned his ire on some of basketballs greatest. 1 le's called Allen Iverson a "tough monkey." He’s called Duke stu dents “women."

Ackley said. “The expectations are high, but I’ve heard he's a great guy from a lot of different people, so it’ll work out." Fox echoed similar sentiments in a press release announcing Jackson's appointment. “Coach Jacksop brings a wealth of experience to our program in all areas of the game." Fox said. “He has a reputation of being a very hard worker, a relentless recruiter and having a great rap port with the players. “He is a great person, is pas sionate about coaching and really wanted to be at Carolina. Scott is a great addition to our staff." Contact the Sports Editor at sports(a unc.edu feated 2004 St. Joseph's team was not worthy of a No. 1 seed. He said that Larry Bird's 1.979 Indiana State team didn't deserve to be ranked No. 1, even though it was undefeated and went to the national title game. But as Packer himself said, he was "often wrong, but never in doubt." As far as his job went. Packer's in-game critiques were usually insightful —and always out there. He didn't hesitate to take a stand. Yes, his delivery was abrasive, but Packer provided some serious insight to the games inner work ings. He had a knack for back handed compliments, but he was always able to distinguish the rare "truly great play" from the more common “taking advantage of a defender's mistake." So what, his standards were exceedingly high? The guy actu ally knew what he was talking about, and always had the cojones to express his viewpoints. So forgive me if 1 don’t join in the celebrations. I'll go ahead and say it: Billy Packer will he missed. Contact Powell Latimer at tlatimer(a cmail.unc.edu Notes and quotes from hoops summer conference The men's basketball team hadn't appeared for the media in three months, so, when some of the players spoke July 14, they had plenty to talk about. Marcus Ginyard, Tyler Hansbrough, Wayne Ellington, Danny Green. Deon Thompson and Bobby Frasor all spoke, and here are some of the comments the Daily Tar Heel overheard: ■ Ginyard on TV Lawson. Ellington and Green's return to UNC: "There was a huge celebration, actually, we had an ice cream cake; it was great (laughs). No, but. they just came back, and we just started working out again. It was nothing special, you know." ■ Green on announcing his return: "No. there was no big moment for us. I think it was probably a big moment for you guy sand a big moment for everybody else, but not for us. It was just as coming back to school and playing ball, doing what we like to do." ■ Ellington on the fans' negative reactions to his potential leaving on message boards: "You can't really take that stuff personally. Fans want us to stay, and they can't always sec both sides. “I don't even look at the message boards; I don't even know why TV does.

I mean, I didn't learn anything. I know what kind of per sonality I have. They never gave me back the results, but for the most part, they learned that I was a good kid and that 1 was OK, I guess." ■ Frasor on his least favorite rehab activity: “There was this one circuit w here I'd have to ride a bike with no seat, no handlebars, just a cycle bike, and (trainer Jonas Sahratian) would crank up the intensity so I'm falling all over the place. And then I would go up on this ladder, then I would do defensive slides, and then come and run in place on a trampoline. And we and do that four or five times.’ ■ Ginyard on the new recruit with the most personality: "Larry Drew probably will be the one that 's gonna step out of those four. So it's gonna lx- interesting to watch that.... He's just starting to open up his shell and doing what ever else he's going to do God know s what that's gonna be." ■ Thompson on having two Tylers on the team next season: "1 just call him Zells.

You know, cuach Williams says he doesn't like cool, so he’ll correct that in the first couple weeks." ■ Hansbrough on the team’s roof-jumping escapades: “We re in college. That was fun to me. We're not going to make the best decisions all the time, but who does? "The coaches didn't say much; they just laughed at me." ■ Green on next year’s lineup and his dancing: “I mean, I don't know. It depends. It depends on the start ing lineup I mean if I'm starting, of course I w on't be able to dance. We'll see what happens." ■ Frasor on expectations his freshman year and this year: "It's like night and day, 1 guess. Freshman year, where Sports Illustrated and people weren’t picking us to be in the NCAA Tournament, and we finished second in the ACC and were a three seed. “That year it was fun to prove peo ple wTong. This year, hopefully we can prove people right, when they're picking us to be number one." COMPILED BY RACHEL ULLRICH Contact the Sports Editor at sport.s(a unc.edu.
