Butch Davis: 'I stand by my statement'

Posted Dec 17, 2009
NC State head coach Tom O'Brien did not appreciate Butch Davis' description of the [Donte Paige-Moss post-game] incident and told The News and Observer he was not happy about it. O'Brien did not make an official statement, and a Wolfpack spokesperson said he would not discuss the matter further. Davis said, "We've been so busy recruiting and preparing for a bowl game that we really don't have any other comment to make about it." (WRAL Sports Fan)
