Belichick, who is worth $70 million (per CelebrityNetWorth), said:

"Yeah, I think Hubert is doing a great job. It's just one possession at a time, everyone is critical. And you know, take good care of the ball, rebound well, play good defense and make your foul shots." (2:48)

UNC (20-11, 13-6 ACC) is on a strong run heading into the final game of the regular season, having won its last six matches. However, beating Duke (27-3, 18-1) at Dean Smith Center on Saturday will be another stern test.

The Blue Devils are on a seven-game win streak. They will clinch the Atlantic Coast regular season title with a win over North Carolina.

Moreover, Duke won the first matchup of the season against UNC 87-70. So, UNC will aim to exact revenge on its rival on Saturday.
