Bus driver picking up my cross-country team from the school introduced himself as we shook hands, "Hello, I'm Phil Ford". I hope my smile and giggle did not put him off. 😆
Just put a smile on my face

I work in hospitality and have bumped into some of the Carolina family during my time.
I was checking a older couple in years ago in eastern North Carolina, name was Marvin Williams, and by chance the older gentleman checking in had a UNC hat on (not uncommon). I made mention at check in that one of my favorite UNC players name was Marvin Williams he laughed and said, "That is my son". Trying to be professional I backed off of it (Hotel rules), but he continued on with conversation about UNC. Really nice guy as I remember.
Hubert Davis first year coaching, I was doing hotel management in Raleigh and just doing the lobby ambassador thing (making sure to smile and at least speak to guest, another guy is wearing a UNC hat, and he had a similar look as Hubert Davis. I said, "you look like Hubert Davis especially with that UNC hat". He smiled and said, I am not Hubert Davis, but my son is RJ Davis, do you know him? I said of course your son is super fast, and I looked forward to seeing him and Caleb have a great Sophomore year, he pulls out his phone and shows me a picture of him and Hubert Davis standing side by side. Very cool guy, and at that time I had no idea that UNC would make finals and zero idea RJ would become a star at UNC, but he did, No exact quote, but he did state that RJ was ready very emphatically.
