Another big story foiled Anson Dorrance’s master plan for his last game

Posted Aug 13, 2024
Another big story kicked aside Anson Dorrance’s grand retirement plan for his last game. After UNC lost 4-3 at BYU in last season’s NCAA quarterfinals with a chance to make the College Cup, Dorrance had a conversation with Athletics Director Bubba Cunningham early this year that provoked a lot of thought. "He said, ‘Anson, you’ve got to protect your legacy.’" (Tar Heel Tribune)
