UNC Basketball Possible coaches

Donovan is 60; 61 at the end of May.

Mark Few is 63.

Both look fit AND “ridden hard and put up wet.”

Unless we’re desperate, hard no on both……unless you want to be back here in 3-5 years.

Well, we did hire Belichick and Mack Brown before him, so we seem to have a thing for aging/older coaches recently. Hopefully none of them have a sugar baby girlfriend.

It would be closer to ten years with Donovan. I think he's got a good decade left in him.

But, let's just get Brad Stevens and not worry about it.
 
Might be controversial but I’d be pretty disappointed in either Few or Donovan. 10 years ago I’d be all for it. Right now I’d rather take a swing on someone like Byington or McCollum if we can’t land someone from the Stevens/May/Lloyd/TJO tier of candidates.
 
Sherrell mentioned that this hire is all about getting the best coach, and so we’re going to see exactly how Carolina basketball is viewed now by the basketball world. It’s going to be interesting to see if we’re still considered the top destination.

Stevens seems to be the top target, but I remain dubious that he'll actually leave his current job. If he doesn't, then TJ or Lloyd would be my Top 2 choices. My least preferred would be Golden or Oats or Few, for various reasons.

I do wonder about Stevens being out of college basketball for 10+ years… if you can get a Tommy Lloyd or TJO - someone who’s actively killing it in the current college basketball landscape, maybe that’s the move. Same goes for Donovan.

According to IC the top tier list is:

Lloyd
May
TJ
Stevens

Tier2
Byington
Donovan
Few
McCasland
McCollum

Donovan is Tier 1...can't say I love guy in his 60s. Don't really see Few as a realistic target.
Otherwise that's a solid list. Saw that Michael Malone has a house in Chapel Hill...hell of a good coach...I'd bring him in for a cup of coffee even though I prefer a guy with recent college experience.

I really hope we don't hire an asshole.
