Yeah, 20 wins for a UNC level program is not a good season. And when a number like that is so cherry picked it makes me go looking. Roy only won 19 games his first season but then proceeded to win 30+ in four of the next five. Hubert never won 30+. Schemer only has four seasons completed and will almost certainly win 20+ next season likely with an overall winning percentage significantly above Hubert's. Schemer just has to figure out how to close the deal in the big dance but it's hard with a revolving door of ine and doners. Yeah, those kids are super talented but they're still freshmen and are prone to doing dumb poo when the pressure gets dialed up to 11. Always been the case, always will be. We can go back to our '93 title as a perfect example. Michigan's Fab 5 with a super talented freshman dominated team and the best of the bunch cranks in crunch time first with an uncalled obvious travel, then the infamous timeout with no timeouts remaining. Freshmen gonna freshman.

Yes, more recently. The way duke fans act you'd think they'd won five of the last ten or something crazy when they've actually won zero if the last ten. They haven't even even played in a championship ship game in the last decade. Carolina has played in three. For all the elite NBA talent that has come through Durham, duke is in a woeful championship drought. Duke fans used to talk all kinds of poo about how Carolina failed to win titles with Stackhouse/Wallace and Carter/Jamison and honestly they had a point. We should've gotten a title or two out of those teams. But man, duke's current run of elite talent with no titles puts that to shame.

LOL, what? No one has said anything close to that.

When you have to keep blocking people you might be the dumbass.

Sean May joining Marcus Paige on Wes Miller's staff at UNCC. I hope these dudes kill it.

Not much of one. You poo on our best player after he plays an entire half with a broken arm and you don't even know "Tar Heels" is two words. Go root for duke already.

Here's where things stand currently...

You either cut down the nets or you don't. The rest is loser talk. We've cut down nets more recently than they have.

We literally have a more recent natty than they do. LOL

It would explain the seeming lack of urgency from UNC too. If they don't have some type of agreement in principle in place with somebody then I don't know what they're doing because it seems like they're just sitting around with their thumb up their ass.

I love how duke fans talk like they're the equivalent of Wooden's UCLA dynasty meanwhile they haven't won a title in over a decade while just operating as a one year pit stop for NBA lottery picks. They're Calipari's Memphis, not Wooden's UCLA.

You play in the Elite 8 tomorrow and you have guys on the roster already talking to other team prepping to hit the portal. This is why college sports has to go to contracts.

A legit NT and a true FS are the elephants in the room that a lot of people aren't talking about but they're huge needs.

Well, yeah. That was known before he signed his letter of intent. Caleb Wilson was always an obvious one and doner. Hate he got hurt, but him getting hurt solidified us moving on from Hubert so sucks for Caleb but probably best for the Heels in the long run. Though if he becomes a great pro not sure how much love he'll retain for the program with his coach getting poo canned. Whatever. It is what it is. Loved watch the kid in Carolina blue for a few games.

Boomer donors will line up to pony up for Donovan because they remember him being a great coach. They're not lining up to pony up for a guy that's two games over .500 in the SEC through two years.

He's not ready for a UNC level gig. Maybe he'll earn a shot at a blue blood job at some point, but a couple of decent seasons at Vandy just ain't enough. If he was in the family, maybe he gets a shot but that guy ain't gonna be the guy that gets Carolina to go outside the family. Mark Few should've been after Roy retired but not at 63.

Hiring a 60 year old who has been out of coaching for a decade would be a serious disappointment. College basketball is a completely different universe to navigate than it was when Billy Donovan was a great coach.

Run back to the employer that had previously fired me? Yeah, nah definitely wouldn't have done that.

Billy Donovan is 60 years old, the same age as Bill Guthridge was when he got the job. Everyone acknowledges in hindsight that Gut was too old. Don't repeat the same mistake, especially given that the football program is currently dealing with an even worse version of the same problem.

Truth. Like when UNC hired Butch Davis and then we get hit for recruiting violations. Like yeah, no poo. Dude coached Miami when they we paying like the 33rd NFL team. What did you expect?

Yep, officially heading to LSU. NCSU is a stepping stone program. It's a job you take to try to set yourself up to get the job you actually want. It is what it is.

Hubert had plenty of bench Hubert just refused to play his bench while he ran his starters into the ground. We had a top 50 4* recruit with offers from Kansas, Tennessee, Ohio State, etc. who barely saw the court this year.

A lot of the older coaches are retiring a bit more prematurely than in years past and I get it. This new era with the whole NIL and transfer portal deals has completely changed the nature of the job. They have plenty if money so if they don't want to evolve to fit the new model, fug it just retire. I get it.

That would be an absolute shock. I can't see it from either angle. Stste already has a massive little brother complex with UNC, hiring UNC's cast-off would just be bizarre.
