After video of a maskless gathering involving two UNC basketball players was released by The Daily Tar Heel on Monday, fans had been waiting to actually hear from both the students involved as well as the head basketball coach, Roy Williams. At first, folks were promised an answer after the Miami game. Once that game was postponed, there was an expectation that at some point the issue would be addressed before the Tar Heels were scheduled to take the court again.
On Tuesday, it was addressed. The UNC Athletic Office sent out a press release that had a statement from both the team as a whole as well as Roy Williams:
2020-21 University of North Carolina men’s basketball players and managers:”Saturday night, a number of players and managers – not just the ones shown on the video that was seen – got together to celebrate our win at Duke.
