Chansky’s Notebook: Mr. ‘Air-Ball!’
Posted May 18, 2022
Rich Yonakor – the infamous “Chickie” of the 1977-80 Tar Heels – passed away on March 3, two days before North Carolina turned its basketball season around with the dramatic 94-81 upset at Cameron Indoor. Man, time flies. More than 43 years earlier, Yonakor inadvertently created the cheer that has stuck with basketball ever since "Air Ball! Air Ball!"
