UNC trainer off to 'rough start'
Posted Nov 27, 2008
When Chris Hirth took over the head athletic trainer's job for UNC's men's basketball team last summer, he never imagined he'd be quite this busy, quite this soon. "No, it's not what I envisioned. But it does happen, and it's why I'm here -- to handle and help these situations." "These situations" include Marcus Ginyard's still-healing broken foot, Mike Copeland's still-mending knee, Tyler Zeller's fractured left wrist, and the stress reaction in Tyler Hansbrough's right shin.
