UNC banquet could tell story
Posted Apr 17, 2008
If Tyler Hansbrough, Ty Lawson and Wayne Ellington remain mum about their futures at tonight's end-of-season awards banquet, it could be telling. Since coach Roy Williams returned to Chapel Hill in 2003, no Tar Heel has announced his intention to leave school early at the event, preferring to wait for a later news conference. But several players -- including Hansbrough last season -- have used the ceremony to confirm their decisions to stay.
