South Iredell officially announced the hiring of Brian Reese as its next varsity boys basketball coach on Tuesday.
A former national champion with the North Carolina Tar Heels? This is a major splash in the Iredell coaching ranks.
Just think, Reese has the luxury of being able to pick the brain of one of the greatest college coaches of all-time, that being Dean Smith.
Couple that with the fact Reese, who is very humble, seems driven to succeed at a program falling on hard times, and you've got lots of potential.
Two thumbs up for this selection, South Iredell. Way up.

Gimme Mr. Popularity; hit the road, Kyle
Isn't it funny how Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s announcement Wednesday that he's joining Hendrick Motorsports next season coincided with the revelation Kyle Busch wouldn't be back?
When asked at the press conference by moderator Winston Kelley how there was room for Earnhardt Jr., Rick Hendrick said he had pursued a contract extension with Busch but discovered the 22-year-old was being approached by other teams.
"It became pretty obvious ... that maybe a fresh start might be good for both of us," Hendrick said.
How convenient.
What it boils down to: Earnhardt Jr. -- who fans and sponsors adore -- was available, meaning Busch, a Las Vegas native with four wins in two full Nextel Cup seasons, was expendable.
