A North Carolina coach is behind the tradition of cutting the nets

Описание: The game is over, your team won, but you don't stop watching. None of the fans leave. Why? Because everyone wants to see the next step.

It's a step up, on the ladder to cut the net down. It is a moment.

You saw it this weekend, Duke's Coach K and UNC's Hubert Davis. Stepping up, to show all, they own the game, by taking the net home with them.
“It's a ceremony now, there's an official ladder of the net cutting. It's such an important thing and now there are multiple generations who know nothing, but you're supposed to cut down the nets when you win a championship,” says NC Sports Hall of Fame board member Tim Peeler.

It's a tradition Tim Peeler enjoys talking about. He says the sports staple started in 1947 with NC State Coach Everett Case.
