UNC's Withers getting to know offense -- and team

Posted Aug 5, 2011
Last year, North Carolina’s Everett Withers spent all of his time on the practice field with the defense – concentrating on the secondary, with the offense mostly an afterthought. So Friday, during his first official workout as the Tar Heels’ interim head coach, UNC’s former defensive coordinator admitted there were moments when he didn’t know where to fix his gaze “Am I going to go watch the running backs? Go watch the receivers?” he said. (Raleigh News & Observer)
