Charles Scott Joins College Basketball Hall Of Fame

Posted Nov 22, 2015
It never occurred to Charlie Scott that he would make history when he accepted a scholarship offer from Dean Smith to play basketball at UNC in the late 1960s. "Being the first black in the South was not something I understood the importance of. Coach Smith understood its significance a lot better than I did," said Scott, who joined his late coach in the College Basketball Hall of Fame on Friday. (GoHeels.com)
