Tar Heels maintain their 'Tys'
Posted Apr 11, 2007
Usually soft-spoken center Tyler Hansbrough stepped to the podium and appeared to catch assistant coach Joe Holladay off guard Tuesday night at UNC's basketball awards ceremony. "I cut a deal with coach Williams that I'd be back for my junior year, only if he fired coach Holladay," Hansbrough joked. Long after Holladay recovered from the ruse, Hansbrough confirmed he will return for his junior season. Point guard Ty Lawson also said he will be back as a sophomore in 2007-08.
