Coach Yow mural defaced at NC State

A mural painted in NC State University’s Free Expression Tunnel to honor women’s basketball coach Kay Yow was defaced over the weekend.

On Saturday, a blue mustache was painted on the portrait along with profanity.

Campus police said they monitored the tunnel Sunday.

The tunnel became a lightning rod for controversy late last year after threatening graffiti directed toward then president-elect Barack Obama was found in the tunnel.

Yow died January 24th after a long struggle with breast cancer.
