UNC Basketball Possible coaches - UNC hires ex-Nuggets HC Michael Malone

Some thoughts:

7. The contract was a little concerning, not the least of which is a buyout of only $8 million. Mark Byington has a larger buyout at Vanderbilt for crying out loud. Coach Malone obviously has interest in coaching in the NBA again and he could be gone in a flash. Even the possibility suggests instability.

If the followed the same protocol that Dean used, they would round the height. Then, the player could choose to add or subtract an inch. I don’t remember if the measurements were in shoes or bare feet.

So sad he (and we all) were robbed of his twilight after that surgery. Just so much wisdom that is further and further away from our society
