Robert Quinn's high school coach speaks out

Posted Oct 15, 2010
Robert Quinn released an official and very polite statement through UNC on Thursday. His high school coach Steve LaPrad was more critical. "I hate that this happened to Robert," said LaPrad, who talked to Quinn by telephone Tuesday night. "In a lot of eyes, it questions his character. Everybody that has kept up with this story knows one of the people involved is the person who recruited Robert to go to North Carolina." (Charleston Post and Courier)
