Shut up and coach

Posted Dec 14, 2009
Roy Williams had security eject a fan Saturday during a rout over Presbyterian College at the Smith Center because the guy had the audacity to heckle a Tar Heels player. UNC was well on its way to a win when Deon Thompson stepped to the line to shoot some free throws in the second half. "Hey Deon, don't miss it," yelled a Presbyterian fan. Two things happened next: Deon made both free throws and Williams made a scene. (Philadelphia Daily News)
