This has gotten away from the quote in question.

Never did anyone say that basketball wasn't better in Carolina.

What was said was that, in Levo's opinion, basketball apparently wasn't "important" in his previous stops.

I beg to disagree. And while Tobacco Road might have more titles, attendance shows that basketball is quite important in the State of Tennessee.
