Belichick Bans Patriots Scouts from UNC | JQJO

Bill Belichick, now coaching at UNC, has banned New England Patriots scouts from Tar Heels facilities after a reported scouting access denial. Belichick, who previously coached the Patriots for 24 seasons, stated that the Patriots' actions prompted the reciprocal ban. While not violating NCAA rules, the move is unusual. This follows a public spat between Belichick and Patriots owner Robert Kraft, who recently questioned the risk of hiring Belichick.
