Standing out in a crowded field

Posted Mar 1, 2006

North Carolina has produced more All-Americans and more NCAA titles than any other ACC school, but even the Tar Heels would have a hard time finding a better leader in their illustrious history than David Noel. "David Noel may be as good a leader as I've ever been around," Roy Williams said. "A lot of times, seniors could start being too concerned just about how they're doing. David has been concerned about how he's doing, but he's been more concerned about the team." (Chapel Hill News)
