It had less to do with him than it did with the fact that UNC were starting their typical #2 squad and getting hammered or breaking down in many of the big games. The Kansas Debacle kinda reminded me of the bad times when we had the big game (Lang, Capel, Forte, etc. teams) and got smacked up and down. I STILL can't beleive that we got beat by 18 in a Final Four game. Sure, it wasn't a 30-point defeat in a national title game (hmmmm?), but it still pisses me off.

I mean, it was huge. I always wondered how he could get air past it..... I sure liked him tho, he was a hustler. Did anyone ever get the impression Kris Lang’s mouthpiece looked like a sofa?

It carried over into 2002 as well. UNC-wise, Roy turned everything around...and thank God for that. I would like to just say that 2001 kinda sucked over all, and the whole Duke title run was so 2001.

Sounds like Ginyard had the same thing done from last October but failed to show up in June. This probably happens more than we realize and is probably less of a deal that we tend to think. Lawson failed to show up for his other violations and I have no idea how those have been handled. Lawson had his case continued until August.

Earlier in the week they did a story comparing the '08-'09 team to the '93-'94 team. I really hope they meant the previous year's team, or we're in for a <b><i>big</i></b> letdown come March. I heard them say "Ginyard," "turned himself into the police," "bench warrant for failing to show up in court," and "noise ordinance violation." Lawson did break a noise ordinance, but I haven't heard of a bench warrant being issued for failure to show (in this or any other jurisdiction). No news is definitely good news in this instance.

First time I'd seen the team in person that year and had high hopes that we would avoid the Clemson let down in Littlejohn. The 1st half we got off well and looked like we were going to cruise. Clemson started off the 2nd half and began making everything. As it got tight in the last 10 minutes the Tiger crowd began to smell blood. Forte and Capel literally started screaming at each other on the court and had to be seperated by Haywood. The yelling continued into the time out on the bench. To this day I've never seen that before or since from a Carolina team! When the game was over I had to shield my daughter and fight through the student section as they rushed the court to celebrate upsetting #1. I could not believe what I had witnessed and I told my wife "put a fork in us because we're done for this year". Unbelievable! I was at the Clemson game setting behind our bench.

Perhaps WCHL was talking about Lawson and mistakenly said Ginyard? I can find nothing on Ginyard.
