Marcus Ginyard cheering on Tar Heels' run from bench

Posted Apr 2, 2009

Marcus Ginyard has gone from being UNC's do-everything leader on one Final Four team to a cheerleading fixture on the bench on its next. Ask him about that change, and it's clear he doesn't want to make a big deal about it. "It's awesome. I get the best seat in the house. I'm in the huddles. I'm in the locker room. I get to hold the trophy. I've got an easy job, man." Still, that lighthearted answer hides plenty of hurt and disappointment. (Myrtle Beach Sun News)
