With disappointing season now over, Tar Heels become Butch's team

Posted Nov 27, 2006

North Carolina's season began with the "New Blue." It ended with a new coach. And in between, there were plenty of the same old struggles that plagued the Tar Heels during the past several seasons and wound up costing coach John Bunting his job. Now, the Butch Davis era in Chapel Hill begins Monday, two days after North Carolina wrapped up a 3-9 season with a 45-44 win over rival Duke. (Fayetteville Observer)
