Lucas: Back To Practice

By Adam Lucas

The world has changed.

For the last 17 seasons, Roy Williams has gathered his team around him at midcourt of the Dean Smith Center on the first day of practice. The Tar Heels go through the practice plan, and individuals are picked to recite the offensive and defensive emphasis of the day, plus the thought for the day.

Sean May did it. Tyler Hansbrough did it. Justin Jackson did it.

And Day'Ron Sharpe and Caleb Love did it, too.
