Mack Brown says emotional postgame comments to team, sparked by frustration, were misinterpreted

Posted Sep 23, 2024
Mack Brown admits he doesn’t handle losses well and said Monday that’s what led him to ask his team a question Saturday after UNC’s 70-50 loss to James Madison that he regrets. He lamented he lied to his wife, Sally, when he promised to take losses better and said this was another example. Brown said he continues to learn hard lessons even at age 73. (Tar Heel Tribune)
