and there were four or five college-aged
kids. They said, “Coach, don’t
worry about that guy. Can you take a
picture? We still love you.” And so I
go to take a picture with those guys.
It was a good thing he kept going
because it really did fire me up for a
couple of seconds. I didn’t need a guy
on a bicycle telling me off.
WBM: Tell us about your
Wrightsville.
RW: WB is a pretty doggone nice
place to be. When you think about
it — it’s not unknown, but you
don’t really realize how pleasant it is
until you get here. This is a pretty
impressive place … to walk through
the community. I can’t come down
here without walking. Walking down
to Robert’s grocery store and going
to Kohl’s and getting some of the
ice cream. … It’s amazing, because
people are always saying, “Coach, I
saw you on the Loop.” Or we may be
in New York City and someone says,
“I saw you at Wrightsville Beach.”
WBM: One of the sayings about
the town of Chapel Hill is that it’s
the southern part of heaven. Do
you think that southern part of
heaven extends down here?
RW: Heaven in my mind’s got to
have a beach. So if that’s the case,
Wrightsville Beach is a part of the
southern part of heaven. No question.
WBM: Coming from the Asheville
area, what drew you to the beach?
RW: You know, it’s crazy because
the mountains are home. I’ll always
go back there. But I’ll never not have
a place at the beach. The sound of
that ocean at night, the way it makes
me relax. … I love to feel the breeze.
At night when the basketball games
are over with, after 11 o’clock, I go
and sit on the porch for a couple of
minutes and get the fresh air and
feel the breeze … no shoes, no shirt,
sit on the beach, and those kinds
of things. I don’t go without a shirt
unless it’s sitting out in the sun, but I
love the flip flops and just relaxing.
