As the University of North Carolina weighs one of the most consequential facility decisions in program history, some of the most influential voices in Tar Heels basketball are stepping forward with a unified message: renovate the Dean E. Smith Center, but keep it right where it is — on campus.
Former head coach Roy Williams and former national player of the year Tyler Hansbrough recently released public videos advocating for the preservation and modernization of the Smith Center rather than relocating the program to a new off-campus arena.
Their comments come at a critical moment, as UNC leadership continues to evaluate long-term options for a building that has been home to Carolina basketball for four decades.
