Tar Heel fans lose a comforting presence in Bill Guthridge

Posted May 13, 2015
It's hard to remember Bill Guthridge doing anything other than sitting on the North Carolina bench, watching what was playing out before him with a Zen-like calm. He wasn't worried. So if you were a Tar Heels basketball fan watching at home, you shouldn't be either. On Tuesday night, Guthridge died at the age of 77, leaving North Carolina basketball without a comforting constant. (Fayetteville Observer)
