North Carolina freshman James Michael McAdoo nearly put teammates in difficult jam
Posted Dec 17, 2011
North Carolina’s win against Evansville was winding down, and coach Roy Williams wanted to see more aggressiveness out of highly touted freshman James Michael McAdoo. The finger rolls were getting old to Williams, who turned toward the players on his bench to deliver a message. “If he doesn't dunk the ball before this game is over, I'm going to run every one of you extra sprints,” Williams recalled telling the team.
