Chansky’s Notebook: Anson’s Successor?

Posted Aug 30, 2019
Read Heather O’Reilly’s resume and background as perhaps the No. 1 student-athlete in all of sports, past and present. From the time she was plucked off the U.S. National team as a high school senior by Anson Dorrance, O’Reilly has become the embodiment of UNC and her coach. My guess is that, however long he keeps going, Anson just hired his successor. (Chapelboro.com)
