When he said "AZ will have a great coach after me", I mean that's a giant flag that gives away the juice. Plus the fact that UNC job is still open, more to believe. Im glad they didn't wait, Davis just didn't have UNC coaching chops and its been clear since his start. 

Yeah, you don't say something like that at his age in the prime of your coaching career unless you're gone. It's not like he's retirement age where it would be understandable to be thinking about the wellbeing of the program after you hang it up. 

If he wins a national championship and leaves that job to come to UNC, that's the most blue blood baller move ever. I mean, when we poached Roy from Kansas Roy wad coming home. Poaching a guy with no ties to the program who just won a national championship at a really good program would be next level flexing on the college basketball world.

His closest ties are being friends with Few and Roy and them having gambled together back in 2017. That said, he apparently wanted the job in 2021 when the school hired Davis.

Yeah, UNC isn't going to hired a non-alum 20 year assistant at Gonzaga with no HC experience. But his success at Arizona clearly shows they should have.

If he wins the natty, he's 100% gone to UNC. People close to the Arizona program 100% believe he'll take the UNC job if he wins the championship at Arizona. Chance he stays if they lose though. 

I thinks he's gone either way and its 99.88764%. Barring some unforeseen event.

UNC is still among the highest prestige with these pure BBall types. It was time and I look forward to a new beginning. There is a new group around there that want to build a NEW court and new facilities, maybe Lloyd can usher this in...

Honestly Roy was too old fashion, he hated hearing music while practicing and with the new age players there was a huge disconnect....Roy like to yell and coach hard, these giant ego soft hands players didn't like that. Glad it ended the way it did and not messy. He got them back on track and then some with those booster bought players.

Davis never had a clue and had no future ideas.  

Next time I see my 1st cousin, I will try to get some insight. He sits with MJ when he's in town and did the same with Dean when he was able to. He knew about Matt and sending him to anger management. Last talk, he was tight lipped tho...
