Fox has set a high standard of success in his first five years on the job, reaching the 100-win plateau faster than any other coach in school history and leading the Tar Heels to record-setting 16-0 and 21-0 starts to the 1999 and 2000 seasons.

Carolina also earned the No. 3 seed in the NCAA Tournament Palo Alto Regional and had five players named either first- or second-team All-ACC.
