When the game was on the line, Larry Miller was there for his beloved Tar Heels

Posted May 18, 2025
There’s a teardrop falling from jersey No. 44 above the rafters overlooking the Smith Center basketball court. It’s long been retired there as a reminder that Larry Miller once passed the Tar Heels’ way. "He was the most competitive person I’ve ever met in my life," says Franklin Clark, 78, who played alongside Miller in the 1966-67 and 1967-1968 seasons. (CityView)
