Super Dave's bus travels with Tar Heels

Posted Jan 16, 2008

Dave Harder, an employee at Southern Coach for 34 years, has been driving the UNC men's basketball team locally for 18 of the past 21 years. Since Roy Williams returned to North Carolina as head coach in 2003, his mileage has expanded exponentially. Now, when the team flies, Harder meets it at every ACC destination. And he has taken a 55-passenger motorcoach to Syracuse (1,246 miles, round trip), St. Louis (1,603 miles) and New York (984 miles). (Raleigh News & Observer)
