Posted Dec 20, 2015
At first, Brice Johnson tried to not talk about the thing he wasn't supposed to have said. But his coach interrupted him as he tried to deflect a question about the comment that got him benched in the first half of Saturday's game against UCLA. "Coach got mad at him and took him out," North Carolina coach Roy Williams said. "I had my reasons. Period. The end. It's not a story." (USA Today)
