Before North Carolina’s 101-75 victory over Mississippi Valley State on Sunday, the Tar Heels asked for a moment of silence to remember “Super” Dave Harder, who drove UNC’s bus for more than two decades.
And the coaches took it one step farther, wearing custom lapel pins with the initials “DH” to remember a man they considered part of their team.
“They put one on my desk, and I was very pleased to wear it,’’ coach Roy Williams said of the custom pin. “I knew we were going to do the moment of silence for Dave … it was a touching moment, but a tough one, too.”
Harder -- nicknamed “Super Dave” for his incredible feats of driving, such as maneuvering the team through ice and snow on road trips, and backing the bus into tight garages, when necessary -- passed away suddenly in October. He was 64.
