Observations: Larry Brown, Phil Ford watch Heels win

Posted Feb 28, 2010
Charlotte Bobcats coach Larry Brown and assistant coach Phil Ford - both former North Carolina Tar Heels - attended the game, and sat about seven rows behind the North Carolina bench, eating peanuts and nachos respectively. Brown said it was the first time he'd been to Lawrence Joel Coliseum, and added that watching the Tar Heels "is like when I watch one of my kids play a sport - I have a hard time enjoying it."
