Larry Drew’s curious departure throws UNC an unexpected curve

Posted Feb 5, 2011
Larry Drew II was known for making some curious decisions with the basketball. This one, however, trumps them all. Without any rhyme, reason or advance warning, the 6-foot-2 junior abruptly left the Tar Heels on Friday. He did so with such stealth and haste that many of his now-former teammates found out about his departure from second- and third-hand sources. (Wilmington Star News)
