Biorhythms for Carolina @Virginia: Post-Game Discussion

If this season ends the way it's been going (around a fringe top-25 team according to all of the analytics), would that be enough to part ways with him, in your opinion?

I think he needs to do better than that. We hired a GM and dropped a lot of cash on this team. IMO he needs to do more than have a borderline season. He's had 2 good and 2 bad. He needs this one to end better than we are now. I think this team will get better, though. I think Seth is getting back into game mode, the team is remembering how to paly with him, and we are figuring out the PG situation. If that continues, I think HD should keep his job. If we continue to shit the bed like the Cali trip with the occasional good win like UVA and stay top 25ish, then I think he's had his chance. But I'd love for us to just stop making every single win or loss a referendum on this topic... it just might cost us the #1 PG in next year's class.

Are we having a borderline season at present?
 
I don't know exactly what it means to continue on the current path this season. But if it means a season where we're in the top 25 all year, end up with a 5/6/7 seed, maybe win a game in the tournament, and Davis gets fired at the end, I think there will be a lot of backlash. I'm not at all confident in what the next hire might look like. But I think it will at least be an entertaining circus.

I'm too old to care much. Course, I have a little different perspective. It wasn't such a birthright when I was growing up. The year I was 10, UNC was 7-7. It got better. I feel like I've gotten to watch some great runs with some ups and downs and I'm grateful for the experience. Until recently, the best part of that has come from the Carolina family which is a lot more real than the Semesterhood that other team touts. It might have lost its vigor and it might have lost its value. I don't think so but it's not mine to decide. In the words of Ray Wiley Hubbard
And the days that I keep my gratitude
Higher than my expectations
Ah! Well, I have really good days
 
I do completely understand people being nervous over who would be in charge of the next hire. That is definitely a legitimate concern.

Thank you for sharing.

IMO, the things impacting our drop in D from Dec to Jan are:

- Seth coming back
- Our entire team being new
- Long road trip after the holidays
- Lack of athleticism on the wings
- Need to adjust lineups due to solving for PG/wing issues
- Our top player being a freshman (not raised by an NBA journeyman)
- Level of competition increasing going from preseason to ACC play (this one is iffy, thus last)
- Others?

All this being said, we should not have crapped the bed the way we did. Our D should not have dropped off the way it did. There are legit criticisms of HD not fixing/ solving for it faster.
