While in North Carolina, John Kuester shows he’s true blue

Posted Dec 22, 2009
If you hang around Pistons coach John Kuester for any amount of time, you pick up that he bleeds Carolina blue. And why not since he was a hot-shot point guard for the Tar Heels in the 1970s? So you figure he will get a treat tonight when the North Carolina football team is scheduled to watch the Pistons vs. the Charlotte Bobcats. (Detroit Free Press)
