We wanted to find a picture of a previous gold medalist, and came across this picture of Spencer Haywood. On the way to finding it, though, we came across a bizarre controversy which happened in 2005: Former UNC great Charles Scott (he never liked the name Charlie and didn't use it) auctioned off - or claimed to auction off - Haywood's gold medal. Small problem: it was Scott's, not Haywood's. Scott says it was an error. What a weird deal. You can see the letter Scott signed in the previous link and read more about it here.
By the way, Haywood runs a very entertaining blog, which you can find here.
