On Saturday, Bill Belichick guided University of North Carolina to its first win this season, overcoming an inauspicious start to the Belichick era last week. The Tar Heels defeated Charlotte with a 20-3 win away.
But, as has been the case since Belichick joined UNC as its head coach, the win was dominated more by off-field drama than on-field results. This time, it was Belichick's reported decision to bar New England Patriots scouts from Tar Heels practice.
After Saturday's game, Belichick was asked about the choice to deny his former team access to his current one, with the coach seemingly confirming the policy with a blunt remark.
