It was fitting that when the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame announced over the weekend that Charlie Scott would join their ranks, Lefty Driesell would also be inducted. If history had gone the way Lefty wanted, Scott would have been the trailblazer for Davidson instead of UNC.
Unofficial UNC Basketball historian Art Chansky goes into great detail about the path that led Scott to Chapel Hill. The book, Game Changers, was released on the 50th anniversary of Scott’s commitment to UNC, and helps highlight a man who changed the course of Carolina basketball. It’s worth reading at least the excerpt that SI published in that link, because it took a lot of work to get him to Chapel Hill.
