It’s time to retire Charlie Scott’s jersey
Posted Apr 3, 2018
This isn’t just about him being in the Hall of Fame. As the first African-American to play on the varsity at UNC, Charlie Scott helped solidify Dean Smith’s status as coach of the Tar Heels and helped Carolina enter the modern age of college basketball. Charlie Scott was so important to UNC that he deserves to be given the ultimate honor: retirement in the Smith Center rafters.
