Bill Guthridge had a decision to make. The year was 1978, and following UNC’s loss to San Francisco in the NCAA Tournament, Guthridge — who died Tuesday night at the age of 77 of heart failure — was faced with a dilemma as he checked his bags at an Arizona airport. With his 10th season as an assistant coach at UNC in the books, Guthridge was unsure of whether or not he was going to return to Chapel Hill. (Daily Tar Heel)
