Under Hubert the last month of his first season and most of last season is the anomaly. Most of his first season, his second season, and this season is his norm.
Yeah, let's not fool ourselves with what the run in the tournament was his first year. Manek got hot and Love was actually hitting those crazy shots he had been missing the rest of the season once they played dook at Cameron. Up until then it was a very mediocre season, a little better than this season. Last season the regular season was great but they did get beat by a lower seed in the tournament and sent home early.

Even last season we were plagued with poor strategy early season, go watch the UCONN game- our "switch every screen" defense was a train wreck. Even with talented rosters that are well constructed this coaching staff is holding them back. I hate to say it, I really do, but Hubert is not the man for the job. The University needs to move on.

And they are still switching everything, even with a small lineup.

Yeah, this whole line of thought that goes “if the results aren’t better after next year, HD needs to go” is disheartening. Another year?
 
Hard to even predict what next year would look like with Hubert coaching because the roster will be so different. Feels like we are heading for a mass exodus of players. Right now we have two combo guards and a power forward committed from the 2025 class and then we will have to mine the portal for several other players. That doesn't install a lot of confidence that it would be a successful year.
 
It appears to be the consensus that the PTB have determined that HD will be given another season BUT will impose upon him a GM and extended staff. I cracked up last night hearing Cory recount how HD told him this week that modern BB is too big and complicated for a HC and his staff to handle (like in the days of Dean) and a GM and extended staff are now needed for today's game. Yeah, like he came up with that idea (3 years too late).

Next year will be a complete waste of time as a GM and staff additions will only marginally help matters, if at all. HD simply can't coach at this level. The roster is going to blow up after the season and it's likely next season could be worse. I fear the deterioration of the fan support and further tarnishing of the brand McGuire/Smith/Gut and Roy built.

The problem may be the timing. UNC completely overhauled the fb program a few months ago and opened the checkbooks. They probably can't afford to do that for the bb program a few months later and may need another year to prepare financially for this.

I hadn't thought about this, and I guess it makes sense. Otherwise it's crazy to me how he is considered safe. I know that's what the IC staff keeps saying, but goodness.

I could not be more over him. I will eat my shoe if more than two or three kids on the current team are here next year.
 
apathy has set in for me. turned the game off with about 12 minutes left last night.

i can count the # of times i've turned off a carolina basketball game in my life on one hand.

10 min mark for me. I also have rarely done that in my decades of fandom.

I think Powell and Jackson could both leave. Leaves Cadeau and Trimble, if they don't transfer. RJ talked Trimble into staying, but now he's not going to be there to do that. Withers is gone. I guess Tyson would stay or could transfer again. You have Wilson coming in.

I guess best case scenario would be Cadeau, Trimble, Jackson, Powell, Washington, Lubin, Brown, Tyson, Wilson and the two guards coming in. But I doubt all of them are staying. Worst case could be Wilson. Washington, Lubin, Brown, Tyson and the two incoming guards.

Who decodes to go could have an impact on if they keep Hubert or not, too. If Cadeau, Trimble, Jackson and Powell are all gone, might as well go ahead and start fresh with a new coach, even if it means losing Wilson.
 
slightly off topic for the clemson biorhythms thread but i'm doing it anyway..... who do y'all want us to look at when HD's time is up?
