Upon his hiring, Mock led an immediate revitalization of the Carolina program by capturing back-to-back ACC titles in 2005-2006. Last season, the injury-riddled Tar Heels finished 7-8-1 overall and 2-3 in the ACC, which featured two of the top 20 teams in the country. Carolina also sent three qualifiers to the NCAA Championships and produced three ACC runner-ups in the 2009-10 season.

In 2005, Mock guided two-time All-America Evan Sola to a sixth-place finish at 133 pounds, which was good for a 24th-place team finish at the NCAA Championships and the Tar Heels' best national showing since 1997.

In addition, Mock has mentored 13 conference champions in his nine years as head coach.

Mock, who owns an 81-81-1 dual match record, has scheduled some of the nation's top teams over the last nine seasons and, along with his staff, has recruited some of the country's top high school talent to Chapel Hill. The Tar Heels 2011-12 and 2012-13 crop of newcomers were rated among the nation's best according to InterMat.

Prior to the 2003-04 season, Mock worked as an assistant coach for Lam for three years and was involved in all aspects of Carolina wrestling. He was an integral part of the 2003 Atlantic Coast Conference championship squad.

In 1982, Mock became Carolina's first NCAA champion and was one of the leaders of the Tar Heel team that finished fifth at the NCAA Championships. He finished that season a perfect 35-0 en route to the national title at 134 pounds and also received the prestigious Patterson Medal, which is presented to the UNC senior student-athlete that best demonstrates athletic excellence.

Mock won three ACC titles while at Carolina and was a two-time All-America. He posted a career record of 108-9, good for a .923 winning percentage, which ranks third all-time in Carolina history. He also had a career record of 64-4 in ACC competition.

Mock returned to his alma mater from Newtown, Pa., where he was the president of Equity Consultants Company and the wrestling coach at Council Rock High. In his first season back in Chapel Hill, the Tar Heels placed third in the ACC before posting a 14-5 mark and finishing second in the league in the 2001-02 season.

Mock wrestled for four seasons at Council Rock High School, in Newtown, Pa., where he won a state title in his senior season and graduated from Council Rock in 1978.

Mock lives in Chapel Hill with his wife, Mickie, son, Corey, and daughter, Chelsea. Mickie is a UNC graduate and was a member of the gymnastics team. She currently works for Duke Urgent Care as a physician's assistant. Chelsea is currently working as a nanny in Philadelphia and plans to attend culinary school. Corey has joined his father in Chapel Hill after spending a year at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colo., as a freestyle wrestling resident athlete.
