State rivalry that their predecessors, John Bunting and Chuck Amato, never managed: a high regard for each other. The two remain friendly after coaching against each other in the Big East, when Davis' Miami Hurricanes beat O'Brien's Boston College Eagles four times from 1997-2000. (Raleigh News & Observer)
