UNC will change approach for stretch run

Posted Oct 27, 2007

UNC will scrap some plays for the final five games. As Butch Davis watched game tape of his team and pored over the statistical data, he decided that UNC is too inexperienced right now to keep trying certain things. “For some reason, they’re just not getting it right now. We’re not coaching them as well (as needed) or they’re too young and too inexperienced, and there’s too many other things they’ve been trying to master.” (Winston-Salem Journal)
