The Shoop Scoop: Thanks, Amazing Student Athletes
Posted Nov 22, 2012
I have been told that if I want to continue coaching, I need to distance myself from what happened at UNC. One administrator told me that what happened there is "toxic" and only time and distance will make it go away. I don't want to distance myself from UNC. On this Thanksgiving week I want to give thanks for ALL the young men who I had the privilege of coaching at the University of North Carolina. My feelings are deeply invested in each of them.
