Tar Heels have first practice under Everett Withers

Cooper, a junior center, quickly learned the answer Friday afternoon. North Carolina had an enthusiastic workout to begin preparations for the 2011 season and showed little initial strain making the transition to interim coach Everett Withers. (Winston-Salem Journal)
