They aren't going to fire Hubert until they are sure they have a replacement 

Last thing they want is to fire him and take forever hiring someone else 

He's already been fired, it just hasn't been made public yet because of legalese stuff.

I honestly don't care about NBA talent. Our last championship team was light on it. The team that went to the title game was light on it. I wanna win college games. I haven't watched a full NBA game in probably 15 years. I barely remember one and doners, whether their ours or elsewhere. It's one of the reasons why my hatred of duke has cooled. Their players don't hang around long enough for me to even know their names.

LG.....you would magically start caring if UNC starting producing NBA stars.....you know this and I would re-start my NBA fandom too... I do not much care either, just its FREE real estate "Wow Dell where did this guy come from" "That would be the U-N-C, the pipeline is back by my looks!!". It would help build the program with NBAers dunking and winning championships to trace back to UNC. 

I miss that too.

I mean, I want our players to do well in the NBA because I wish them well but would I start watching the NBA? No. Hell, I don't even watch non-UNC college games at this point. I'm literally a UNC only basketball fan. I couldn't even tell you who's left in the tourney. Don't care. Hope duke doesn't win but other than that, couldn't give a fug less.

Answer this, 15 years you did follow the Vince Cater, Raweed(whom started this PF 3 non-sense), Stack reverse dunking on fools, Jam with his insane release, and even the goat Tyler was a effort player?

I believe you would for sure start paying more attention if some 2 year UNC player became a new legend in the NBA realm...

I remember being a little kid and felt betrayed when JR Reid left early for the NBA, that was before a lot of One and done of later years. Ric Fox used to be the man. I remember when we beat Oklahoma in the tournament.  I haven't watched much since Ole Dean retired but I like to check in and keep up every so often.  Many hours in the late 80s early 90s watching college basketball. Fug Christian Lattenter.. or what ever his name is. I remember being jealous of Grant Hill.. wished we had him..

Im not sure who I’d prefer to take over. I’d like the coach to be on the younger side, run a great offense, actually teach defense, and be able to recruit his ass off. No doubt whichever coach they hire will want guaranteed NIL money before signing. I think Davis, Wright, Hurley can be marked off the “home run list.” Oats buyout is way too much at 30 mil. Golden’s buyout is 16 mil but drops to 11 mil after 4/15. May, Lloyd, Otzelberger, idk??? Sampson and Few are to old.

    • I think there is good points in this thread to what the team needs to do. 1) Ball isn't really the issue but, he needs reigned in.  Coach and he need to realize when things aren't falling from the three and learn to play other facets of the game.  He's an amazing talent and when he's on, he's on.  But he can also shoot you out of a game.  We're lucky Miami went that way but that is too many missed threes.  He still needs to bulk up if he can, but he needs to drive more.  He's pretty good at finishing usually and hopefully the fouls come (probably not though).   2) The whole team needs to be more physical.  As others have stated, we need more bulk in our bigs.  Diabate is a hurricane of energy but cannot go against the larger centers.  I love him on the team but he should be more of a match up type guy or energy off the bench.  I think he'd be insane off the bench.  However I think the biggest issue with Diabate and Kaulk is the lack of offensive game.  The lack of a jump shot or anything.  Teams figured out to just leave them on the screen and crash lanes.  There has to be some sort of threat.  We need a 4 and a 5 that can do those things and stretch out the court. 3) Bridges.  He's just undersized.  However, I feel he really threw his all into it the last few weeks when others were gassed.  He was ok not being a focal point.  I'd like to have him off the bench as well but I assume he'd be traded to make things work.  4) Miller.  Dude can light it up when on, but disappears for quarters at a time.  Also he needs to work on ball handling and passing.  He's a turnover machine at bad times.  Also hopefully over the injury so he can bulk up too.   5) Kon. Just a rookie.  Long season and back injury.  I have no doubt he'll be back stronger and focused.  Needs to work on defense and physicality like the whole team but yes, a rookie he'll get there. 6) Coby.  Has to be resigned, no question.  The bench lineup is rough without him running the point.  Team has big potential and the front office seems sharp.  They seen the hive and how crazy it got and how much the city wants this.  
    • I still go back to the beat writers having a read on Rodriguez IF he was in play at 19.  If Dan puts his nuts on the table and takes him, pretty solid job of keeping the secrets in house. 
    • Not a chance. Maybe, just maybe if we move back far enough.
