UNC Basketball Possible coaches

Because he's not a coward and thinks he can do it at the school on the planet and the biggest stage?

And because we can probably pay double what he's making now?

good point

I think his salary is 4 million with incentives and his buyout is 29 million

and I confess that I am putting myself in his shoes...
Would I want to uproot my family and my coaching staff ( assuming the staff would want to move to NC) ?
Would I want to leave a successful program that I built that is now taking the big stage ?

I would not , but I would use leverage and goose Iowa State for a boost in salary for me and my staff and a contract extension

So Brad Stevens was interested until news started to leak that Will Wade was going to LSU and the NC State job was going to be available?

That's probably it. Especially since Wes Miller had already filled the UNCC job.

Somebody I respect in basketball circles used this same logic to explain why Hurley may be more interested than one would think. Also his Dad had great respect for DES.

I perceive Hurley as a Northeast guy who would only leave for the Knicks or Celtics job (and Im not convinced NBA guys would respond to his style). I don't think there's a good cultural fit with him at UNC though, even though he's a great coach.

I hate it when people say this nonsense. Frank Maguire was a New Yorker and many of our best players have come from the Northeast. Hurley has a temper and cusses. In this day and age post Coach K and Maga I don’t think that is all that important anymore.

I would be more opposed to SEC type win at all cost coaches like Oates.

I don't want Nate Oats.
