The UNC Tar Heels stand at 4-1 with Louisville coming to Chapel Hill on Saturday. First-year coach Everett Withers was asked several questions this week including this one.<\/p>\n
QUESTION:<\/b> What’s been the most critical element in how you’ve been able to keep everything together and have this team at 4-1 right now?<\/p>\n
COACH WITHERS:<\/b> I think the big issue is
\nme being myself and the staff understanding me,
\nand the players understanding me. I think it was a
\nsmooth transition in that way. I think these kids
\nhave been very comfortable around me.<\/p>\n
They know what I expect. They know the
\naccountability that I expect and the staff expects.
\nThat’s been the biggest thing to emphasize, and it
\nhadn’t been something we had to really do a lot of.<\/p>\n
I think these kids understand that this staff
\nis a good coaching staff, very fundamentally sound
\nand coaching technique. They understand what I
\nbelieve in, playing good defense, running the
\nfootball, taking opportunities when you have
\nopportunities. To me, it was not that big or drastic
\nchange in that aspect. I think the biggest thing
\nwas those kids felt comfortable with me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
