West Virginia coach holds UNC dear

Posted Dec 26, 2008
So what's Bill Stewart talking about as his players walk by with lunch plates loaded with barbecue? How much he loves Chapel Hill and North Carolina. "In 1979, I wrote a three-page letter in longhand on a yellow legal pad and sent it to Dick Crum asking for a job," Stewart says. "He didn't have any paying jobs, but I came in as a graduate assistant. Full-time hours, no pay. He worked it out so that I got an out-of-state scholarship, which upped the money from $2,800 to $4,400." (Raleigh News & Observer)
