Jackson Simmons' last game in the Smith Center came on March 7, 2015. He returned on Wednesday, this time as Western Carolina's director of basketball operations. Before the Tar Heels' 104-61 win, Simmons received a nice applause during pregame introductions. He also paused for a photo with Roy Williams, Hubert Davis and other members of the UNC coaching staff. (GoHeels.com)
