Quote : | " Later, during the Maryland-BC matchup that completed yesterday's schedule, UNC's Williams took a seat court-side, in an area that is reserved for coaches who want to scout a potential opponent or just chat with someone while observing a game. Apparently, Williams made the mistake of carrying a beverage in a Coke-sponsored cup with him. (The Tar Heels have a sponsorship deal with Coke, as anyone who visits the Smith Center can see.) An ACC administrator soon told the coach that the ACC Tournament and the Greensboro Coliseum both are sponsored by Pepsi, and that Williams needed to pour his drink into a container that was either clear/plain or contained a logo from a Pepsi product. Williams reacted angrily to the request, and he then sarcastically asked how far the league was willing to go to (paraphrasing) prostitute itself. Eventually, the coach did comply, but he obviously wasn't happy about it. Officials weren't thrilled with his response, either...." |
