Hubert Davis Catch-all

But there could be ones out there we don’t know about.

Sounds like the Replacer Crowd wouldn't go for anyone but a Big Name to me.

I still remain super skeptical that Roberts et. al. would even want a Carolina Way head coach if they had the opportunity to chose a new one. We've got the football example after all.

No, it’s not unverifiable. They were never playing at the level of the top teams. Hence they weren’t demonstrating that they were a contender.

What’s unverifiable is what might have happened if CWilson didn’t get injured.

One has happened one hasn’t.

So a team is not a “serious” contender if it is not projecting as a 1 or 2 seed? Because if that’s what you mean, that is what you should say.

Football example is not exactly a home run example. Not sure any leader would look at football and think, let’s do that again.

In CBB right now, who would you put on the "NYCBlueBlood approved" list for Carolina, if we were to make a move?

I'm going to steal rodo's list and work from there:

Tier 1: "I really doubt they leave their current school but you gotta call and ask"

• Tommy Lloyd
• Dusty May
• Matt Painter
• Todd Golden (personally, I'd have him off the board anyway for personal reasons, but I understand if others don't)

Tier 2: "The top realistic targets"

• TJ Olzeberger (my personal choice)
• Nate Oats

Tier 3: "Minor potential concerns but still good hires on paper"

• Brad Underwood (too old?)
• Fred Hoiberg (How lasting will his success at Nebraska be, and does he still really want the NBA?)
• Mark Byington (can he be elite, or just consistently very good?)
• Ryan Odom (would really love to see another good year at UVA first)

___________________________

IMO Brad Stevens is 1A above any of rodo's Tier 1. Obtainable? Likely not. But he's a slam dunk. Tommy Lloyd is 1B. Dusty May is a clear 2 with Painter at 3. Todd Golden is an absolute no for me. TJ and Nate are both a clear step down to me... I'd call them 4-ish. High risk, potential high reward... similar to the risk we took with HD. Would prefer we don't go there. I don't like Oates, so for me the options end with Painter, but TJ is worst case scenario if we are determined to fire HD and move on whether we get better or not.
