Live Or Memorex?

That's UNCbasketball.com's tape recorder alone on the side of the table.

We're not saying that Goheels.com
ripped off UNCBasketball.com's
Morrison press conference scoop, but a reader sent us the following
comparisons. Look at the similarities from the two
reports of Morrison's press conference - and of course Ben posted first.
If you look at the photo carefully, you can see a microphone (it's black against
his mom's shirt) and a silver tape recorder on the left side of the table (right
side of the photo). which we assume was Ben's since he has the only
complete transcript we know of. Live or Memorex? You make the call!

On the other hand, nothing wrong with borrowing from one of your own
sites...depending on the origination of the material, that is.

• acctoday.com: "Coach (Bill) Guthridge had compared Brian to Shammond
  Williams as far as being able to do a lot of things -- score, shoot threes
  and handle the ball some -- and I think that's a great compliment," said
  Lake Washington coach Cory Shepard said. "Shammond Williams was a heck of a
  ball player for Carolina."
