He played hurt the whole championship run. Dean said that near the end of that game, Reese said something about being tired and Phelps stood up and said, "I'll tell you when you are tired.". Among Phelps, Lynch and Montross, that team might have had 3 of the toughest 25 to play here.

Any time he got hit, bumped, etc. and came up with that look, head cocked, chin by his chest, eyes upturned? You knew someone was about to get JACKED.

The protocol that Phelps failed in the 1994 game against BC was to count backwards from 100 by 7s.
I like that combo, I remember George Karl lying on the basketball floor and being blatantly kicked hard in the back by a South Carolina player. Those days of John Roach & company were as combative as any I've witnessed in UNC history.
Screw little carolina . . !
We've had some great PGs in our times since then.
ETA, that '72 team was and still is one of my all time favorite teams.
