Dick Vitale: Coaches could build on legacies
Posted Nov 1, 2011
The Tar Heels have a loaded, NBA-caliber frontcourt with Harrison Barnes, John Henson and Tyler Zeller. They all said no to the mega-dollars of the NBA and returned to Chapel Hill. The one thing that really intrigues me is Roy Williams' ability to come through when the expectations are high on Tobacco Road. He has responded when he has had a team expected to be the best of the best.
