Tar Heels look for answers as practice starts

Posted Oct 16, 2009
North Carolina men’s basketball coach Roy Williams said he took a few days to get away with his coaching staff and try and figure out what kind of team his 2009-10 Tar Heels squad will be. According to Williams and his players at Thursday’s preseason media day, nobody’s quite figured it out just yet. “We don’t know what we have,” Williams said. “We’ve got to wait until we get started in practice.” (Burlington Times News)
