Integrating the ACC, one player at a time

Posted Mar 13, 2008

When the ACC tournament first came to Charlotte 40 years ago, America was in a different place. Charlie Scott said he was treated well in Charlotte at that 1968 ACC tournament. "It got a little worse for me the next two years, especially at road games, when I was more of our offensive focus." Charles Scott handled that adversity so well that current UNC coach Roy Williams would later name his son Scott in honor of the former player. (Charlotte Observer)
