Posted Apr 2, 2022
George Karl, one of the finest playmakers in UNC basketball history, left Chapel Hill with so many fabulous memories but never had a cherished spot in the Smith Center rafters. That will change after Saturday. He is one of the Class of 2022 inductees into the Naismith Memorial Hall of Fame announced Saturday. Karl will become the 12th Tar Heel inducted. (Tar Heel Tribune)
