Green's role getting bigger with Heels

Posted Nov 18, 2007

At times, North Carolina reserve Danny Green had trouble understanding his role on the team last season. This year, that role has expanded -- with additional minutes at power forward when the Tar Heels go with a smaller lineup. "There's some fun things about playing the '4,' " said Green, whose top-ranked team plays Iona at the Smith Center tonight. "Coach is always telling us to get the ball inside, so I'm going to get the ball a lot." (Raleigh News & Observer)
