Belichick wins 1st at UNC, confirms Patriots ban
""It's great," Belichick said, "but it's really about the team. It was disappointing Monday night against TCU, but these guys bounced back -- players, coaches, staff, support people -- and just got back to work. They were determined to have a better outcome. I'm really proud of what they did. They deserve the credit for tonight.""
""It's obvious I'm not welcome at their facility," Belichick said, "so they're not welcome at ours.""
Bill Belichick recorded his first collegiate victory as North Carolina's head coach, giving him 334 career wins. North Carolina rebounded from a 48-14 loss to TCU to beat Charlotte 20-3, leading 17-3 at halftime. The Tar Heels rushed for 148 yards and avoided turnovers. The defense held Charlotte to 21 rushing yards, a sharp improvement after allowing 258 yards to TCU. Reports emerged that New England Patriots scouts were banned from North Carolina's facility; Belichick confirmed the decision was a direct response to a closed-door edict in New England amid an acrimonious split with owner Bob Kraft.
