"CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- North Carolina coach Larry Fedora has apologized to a female reporter for a comment made during the Atlantic Coast Conference's preseason media days regarding the emotional maturation of male players.
Brooke Pryor with North State Journal asked Fedora on Thursday about how cornerback Des Lawrence had matured since an off-field incident that led to a 2014 suspension.
According to a transcript tweeted by Pryor, Fedora's response at one point included: "For a woman, you don't realize it, there's a huge growing process for a young man from 17 to 21, 22 years old."
When Pryor responded that women also mature at those ages, Fedora noted that he has three daughters.
Pryor later tweeted that Fedora had sought her out and apologized, which was also confirmed by UNC team spokesman Kevin Best."
Much PC ado about nothing, IMO.

Saw an interview with him and he said his wife liked it. Said as long as she liked it, he'd keep it. I think he said he grew it while at the beach or on vacation or something.
Maybe I am ignorant, but the hell is wrong with what he said. PC continues to kill this freaking country.
It's dumb. I've coached girls and they have different maturation processes at different ages than guys do. Fed is coaching guys so he understands them better and was just stating that and the fact that maybe she doesn't understand. It's different no doubt and she should've just thought or said that it is true and leave it at that. But she had to make it sexist, pc, or whatever. Just dumb
