UNC basketball needs a change of strategy

TO THE EDITOR:

It is hard to criticize a coach with the highest winning percentage of any active coach.

I have been watching UNC basketball since my first year in 1957.

We continue to get killed with driving lay-ups down the middle and unguarded 3-pointers.

I believe if you look at every loss for the past several years, you will see the same thing.

Just occasionally throw in a different defense to change things.

Players are so much taller and quicker.

Opponents don’t have to scout us — they all know exactly how you play.

Let’s go out and surprise a team next time.
