A case for Carolina basketball, charity, and Carmichael

Last season, you may remember that UNC’s men’s basketball program hosted a four-team exhibition event in order to raise money for charity. Men’s basketball teams from UNC-Wilmington, UNC-Greensboro, and East Carolina made the trip to Chapel Hill to take part in a basketball “jamboree” event. Those four teams just coincidentally were coached by former Tar Heel players or coaches in Jeff Lebo, C.B. McGrath, Wes Miller, and Roy Williams.

The round-robin style event was designed so all four teams competed against each other, in approximately 13 minute segments. The intent was each team played 40 minutes against Division-I competition, in an effort to take advantage of a then-recently passed NCAA rule.
