Phil Ford will watch Tyler Hansbrough go for his record

Posted Dec 16, 2008
Charlotte Bobcats assistant coach Phil Ford will attend North Carolina's game against Evansville, when Tyler Hansbrough is expected to break his three-decades old scoring record, Ford told The Charlotte Observer on Monday evening. Hansbrough needs nine points to set the new scoring mark; Ford scored 2,290 points from 1974-78. Ford has said it's an honor to be compared to Hansbrough, a UNC senior forward.
