Speculation about UNC
losses to the NBA is mounting. Neil Amato of the Herald-Sun broaches
the subject on the eve of the banquet, and it reminds us that that is kind of a
big stumbling block. Most players would probably prefer to announce after
the team banquet. Certainly in 1999, when Duke was looking at losing
Brand, Maggette, Avery, and Trajan Langdon, there was a sense of anxiety which
permeated the banquet. That's likely to be the case in Chapel Hill, and
it's entirely understandable if anyone else who is leaving doesn't want to rain
on that particular parade.
