Winning Tar Heels turning into jokesters

Posted Mar 20, 2008

Marcus Ginyard, who was named to the ACC Tournament's first team, noticed he was having trouble making layups during the Tar Heels' three-game run to a 17th league title. He recently told coach Roy Williams "I must have the worst layup percentage out of anyone." Williams' reply was frank. "I told him, 'If you don't son, there's not a hell of a lot of people below you,'" Williams said with a chuckle. (Rocky Mount Telegram)
