Chansky’s Notebook: Madness Begins

Posted Sep 30, 2021
UNC held its first basketball practice Tuesday. October 15 used to be a sacred date in college basketball, the first day of practice. On whatever day the 15th fell, coaches and players could all be together on the court for the first time. Maryland coach Lefty Driesell had the idea to start practice at midnight on October 15. Thus, was born Midnight Madness. (Chapelboro.com)
