Title: UNC Basketball Troubles Post by: Marshal Dillon on December 19, 2013, 11:39:29 PM Now I know why UNC BB has struggled this year. I thought Hairston had been reinstated. McDonald will be an asset.
Quote Hairston had a well-documented summer. He was pulled over twice by the police, both times he was driving vehicles rented by Fats Thomas, a convicted felon, who last month reached a plea deal for a previous arrest. http://collegebasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/12/18/report-leslie-mcdonald-expected-to-be-cleared-p-j-hairston-unlikely-to-play-this-season/related/ :dog: Title: Re: UNC Basketball Troubles Post by: Catch Prothro on December 20, 2013, 06:30:00 AM Anyone named "Fats" already sounds like a criminal.

Quote North Carolina coach Roy Williams on Friday called the unceremonious end to P.J. Hairston's playing career "probably the most difficult and saddest thing I've gone through as a head coach." After holding Hairston out the first 10 games this season while investigating potential rules violations, the school announced Friday that it would not seek his NCAA reinstatement. http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/10172154/north-carolina-tar-heels-not-applying-ncaa-reinstatement-pj-hairston Title: Re: UNC Basketball Troubles Post by: roll tide roll on December 21, 2013, 11:08:07 AM Now I know why UNC BB has struggled this year.

UNC has had 3 wins over top 11 teams; #3 Louisville, #1 Michigan State, and #11 UK and losses to Belmont, UAB, and Texas. Interestingly, they are plagued by many of the same problems as BAMA; poor free throw shooting, lack of energy, and inconsistent player performance. McDonald's first game back was v. UT and they lost. Roy is not a great coach. UNC draws good players. Unfortunately, Hairston is just another in a recent and increasingly long line of prima donnas that have come through Chapel Hill. In addition to the driving violations/parking tickets and the large amount of drugs found during one traffic stop a handgun of unknown origin was also found in the grass beside the vehicle in which Hairston was an occupant.
