It’s not like the team totally bottomed out the rest of the regular season without Wilson though. His injury probably cost us a 5 seed, maybe a 4 seed. Anything higher than that would have required a win @ Dook and/or winning the ACCT.
Zero chance he’s back. IC’s reporters wouldn’t be framing the discussion the way that they are if that were still somehow on the table. Once the national media starts jumping on the story like they have in the last day, you can’t put the toothpaste back in the tube.
the NYT article is generally consistent with what I was hearing yesterday, that things had been in a fact-finding mode — who would be legit interested in the job, how much is their buyout and what is their minimum NIL demand, and figure out if the funding can be scrounged up to make it happen.
dook was banged on on the ACCT so beating them with Caleb wasn't out of the question.
We could have beaten any team in the country with CW on a given day. I’m much less certain of our ability to beat 3 good team in 3 consecutive days, even when healthy, which I think we would have also needed to do in order to get higher than a 4.
We'll never know if the team had turned a corner or was still hit and miss.
I wasn’t picking on your or doubting we are getting a new coach, I just thought the wording of the tweeet was funny.
I do feel really bad for Hubert. After beating dook it looked like the team was primed to make a run. But then the Miami game happened and neither Caleb or Henri was right from the start. That was very weird to me and then it was pretty much downhill from there with a couple of glimmers of hope.
Well at least Hubert can comfort himself knowing he wasn't hanged in effigy....
The problem is the inconsistency with Hubert teams. It wasn’t just this season. There were signs from the first season, but they were never corrected. I also feel terrible for him because he seems genuine and he truly loves Carolina. It wouldn’t surprise me that he retires after this instead of resigning and looking for another coaching job.
Yep. Duke was also missing a Caleb.
Agreed. I wouldn’t see Oates as an upgrade over Hubert. I don’t like his style of play, he’s a horses ass, and doesn’t have a notably better resume than Hubert. Ideally we get one of the new breed of coaches that realized going with a 2 big stuff it in the paint system is a lot more reliable than having tall players bomb away at 30% from 3s.
