Brendan Haywood's College Basketball Journey
Brendan Haywood was a talented high school basketball player. As a senior at James B. Dudley High School in Greensboro, North Carolina, he was named the Gatorade North Carolina Basketball Player of the Year. He was also chosen for the 1997 McDonald's All-American Team, which features the best high school players in the country.
Playing for the North Carolina Tar Heels
After high school, Brendan went to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1997. He was recruited by the famous coach Dean Smith. However, Coach Smith retired soon after Brendan arrived. His assistant, Bill Guthridge, took over as head coach.
In his first year, Brendan was a key player off the bench. The team, known as the Tar Heels, made it to the National Semifinals in the 1998 NCAA Tournament.
Brendan became a starter in his second year. The Tar Heels reached the Final Four in the 2000 NCAA Tournament. His last year at UNC was the 2000–01 season.
College Records and Achievements
Brendan made history at UNC. On December 4, 2000, he recorded the school's first-ever triple-double. This means he had double-digit numbers in three different stats: 18 points, 14 rebounds, and 10 blocks. His 10 blocks in that game were also a new UNC record!
He finished his college career as the Atlantic Coast Conference's all-time leader in field goal percentage (63.7%). This means he made a very high percentage of his shots. He also holds the Tar Heels' record for most blocked shots with 304. In his senior year, he was named to the All-Atlantic Coast Conference 2nd Team. He was also recognized as a 2nd Team All-American by Sporting News.
