Phil Ford's Final 4 Ring on eBay

Posted Aug 25, 2008

Up for auction is the 2000 Final Four ring awarded to Tar Heel legend Phil Ford in his final year as a coach at UNC. This is Ford's original ring that was given to him by UNC. The ring was purchased earlier this year from David Gerald Timepieces in Chapel Hill. Ford had given the ring to a good friend as a gift several years ago. The friend ended up consigning the ring for sale with David Gerald in 2008. (eBay.com)
