Steve Spurrier wants the record set straight — he didn’t coax receiver Bruce Ellington to play both football and basketball.

On Sunday, Carolina’s coach referred to a March newspaper column and then took a not-so-subtle dig at the media:

“There was a misleading, fabricated story that I tried to recruit him and took him from the basketball program. It wasn’t true. But a lot of things we read aren’t true.”

Ouch.
