Nah. Read IC. Read UNC fan groups on Facebook. I have a buddy. UNC grad. Hour after we beat dook he says on text group thread this win will be remembered like UNC win over Miami in football in 2004. Could not enjoy fur an hour.
The race element is real. I live in Lumbee land. Lumbees love the heels. Y'all can take it from there

Well the good thing for HD and UNC is that you could align the entire population of Robeson County against him and it wouldnt amount to a fart in the wind.

Lol, that would be like me saying "people in Tarboro dont like him". Nobody gives a shit about what those kinds of people think and it certainly won't ever be a factor in the job decision for HD.

Real with who? It’s nothing I’ve heard at all. I’m not sure what you’re saying about the Lumbees.

I agree. You were the one who asked me who these people were. To be clear I don't think a single poster on here who wants HD gone is influenced by race. Now on IC ....

There has been plenty of evidence of that fact. Multiple knowledgeable college basketball people have stated that Hubert does not have a good rep with talent, agents, and coaches.

He is a nice guy. He knows basketball. But his rep for handling elite talent is not good with the people that funnel that talent.

Now, reputations are not set in stone. Things could change. But I’m not just fabricating this.

Who are the elite talents who’ve played for UNC in the Hubert era?

Caleb Wilson - who has done well on a Hubert Davis coached team.

That’s the extent of elite talent on Hubert Davis coached teams.

Drake Powell - who played well on a Hubert Davis coached team. He’s really good; but, he wasn’t elite coming out of high school. Elite is Phil Ford, James Worthy, MJ, The Jet, Antawn Jamison, Felton, May, McCants, Tyler Hansbrough, Caleb Wilson.

Caleb Love? Armando Bacot? R.J. Davis? Elliot Cadeau? Captain Jack?

None are elite talents.

Hubert’s suffered in terms of signing elite talent. Same as Coach Williams from the beginning of the paper class “scandal” through the end of his career.

Yet, d00k, Kentucky, and Kansas were RAKING in elite talent.

What had changed?

$$$$$

I read ‘79’s comments about Lumbees as being they’re fine with Hubert.

I read his comment about a guy on his Facebook feed as being a white guy who either was at UNC in the mid-to-late ‘70’s or who never attended UNC; and, that guy hasn’t liked Hubert since Hubert was named as head coach; I read ‘79’s comments as this guy (and many on IC) didn’t like Hubert because, well, Hubert’s black.

No. I asked him if he knew people who don't like Coach Davis because he is Black and he brought up being from "Lumbee Land" as the response. He is saying that Lumbee UNC fans do not want a Black coach at Carolina. I don't have any idea of the accuracy of that but that's definitely what he is saying.

I don’t think ‘79 was saying that. I thought he was saying that Lumbees, who often have conflicts with blacks, like Hubert. That Hubert being black didn’t matter to the Lumbees ‘79 knows.

Then, I think ‘79 strongly implied a white guy he is acquainted with doesn’t like Hubert as head coach because Hubert is black.
