Deon Thompson
As I had talked about a while back, Deon Thompson was trying out for the 2009 Men’s World University Games Team. I am now glad to report that after a three day work out the forward (and only returning starter from a national title team) from Chapel Hill will be among the ...

the5thcorner.com 7/8/2009 — Team USA
In the third game for Team USA in the World University Games it was once again a very easy road for head coach Bo Ryan and his 12 men squad. But, for us Tar Heels, the great part of the 108 to 77 win over Greece was that Deon Thompson led all scorers with 17 points (8 for 10 ...

the5thcorner.com 7/1/2009 — Team USA
I doubt that a head coach, especially one that works for Division I program, would be listening to a blogger like myself, but it seems that I was pretty dead on when I said in my last post about Deon Thompson and Team USA the squad needed the big man from Chapel Hill on the court ...

It has become as engrossing a question as "to be or not to be", or "chicken or fish?"
To some this is a fairly easy question. Duke fans will choose Mike Krzyzewski and University of North Carolina fans will choose Roy Williams.
