During halftime of the UNC basketball program's non-conference contest against La Salle on Saturday afternoon, Tar Heel fans got a special treat.

Bill Belichick, the new head football coach of the program, was introduced to the home crowd. Needless to say, Belichick recieved a very loud ovation, which you could've expected given the hype surrounding his hiring.

Not only was Belichick introduced, but his new quarterback was as well. Bryce Baker, a four-star recruit who confirmed his commitment to the UNC football program earlier today, joined his future head coach at mid-court as part of the introduction ceremony.

Of course, Belichick is used to moments like these, but for Baker, how cool must it have been to be called out to get a warm welcome from Tar Heel Nation just hours after you officially commit to the program.

I mean, I know we're just getting into the thick of the college basketball season, but how can't you get hyped about the upcoming UNC football season in just a few months?!
