So last season was one good whole season out of four before they went home early in the tournament.

They made the national championship game in year 1 so 2 out 3 so far.

I said a good whole season. That season wasn't good until they beat dook at Cameron and had the tourney run and beat dook in the Final Four. They wouldn't have made the tournament if they hadn't beat dook at Cameron. It was a good run at the end of the season, but the rest of the season until then was bad. The next year was terrible. Last year was a good season. This year doesn't look good so far.

But props to you for staying positive and having the biggest Carolina blue glasses of anyone here.

I wanted Hubert to be the guy. He was one of my favorite players when I was growing up and he’s a Heel. With that said, I thought it was an incredibly lazy hire. Roy had a few years that were not up to par. I’m not sure I would have just listened to his recommendation and go immediately with it.

The “modernization” of UNC basketball hasn’t worked. That’s what Hubert was supposed to bring. What I see is selfish, iso ball. It’s actually not really selfish as that seems to be the strategy. The offense is set a high ball screen and see if the guard can break the defense down and kick it to shooters. If that’s we’l-guarded, forget it. The offense is ugly as hell.

This years roster is fundamentally flawed and it would be easy to say - Hubert didn’t get a center but everyone miss sometimes. It’s not really that easy. He watched Jalen Washington in practice for two years and somehow came to the conclusion that he might be the answer. NIL dollars were redirected from post needs to Tyson, who is totally unneeded.

Hubert had a pretty bad first year that ended magically. He had one of the worst seasons in Carolina history the second year. He grabbed a 1 seed but lost in the sweet sixteen in year 3 and this team is a total mess. Usually you know by year 3. I don’t think Hubert is going to be the coach here long term. I think we all know it but it’s just hard to say it. When you do realize it though, it’s always better to go ahead and make the move.

Carolina basketball (even when not amazing) has always been fun to watch. Under Davis, we aren’t. That’s worst than being bad especially in 2024.

Speaking truth.

IC's falling apart. If it were up to them HD would be on the bus with the FLA team.

In fairness, given the way the season is going, short of another miracle like in his first year, this team is not going dancing. It would be the second time HD has had a team highly ranked that flamed out to not make the tourney. It's pretty fucking worrisome, relatively speaking.

There’s no pay off in constantly being negative.

I don't think its an NIL issue. HD has matched offers for many targets. They, for whatever reason, don't want to come here.

This isn’t 1978. Running sprints because some player utters a curse word in a moment of frustration during practice might not be the sort of environment today’s young players choose to play in. Maybe kids today aren’t offended by words they hear in their music, on TV, from their friends and in their homes and don’t think it is the coach’s place to police their vocabulary. Maybe this coach just isn’t in tune with young people today.

That you think it's negative to point out the troubling aspect of the current program is telling.

But, okay, let's stay positive. What positives have you taken away from HD/team this year?

They’ve been very competitive against some of the best teams in the country and haven’t quit at any point.

More than that though, this is my team I’m going to hold out hope and believe things will get better until the bitter end.
 
UNC should have opened the season ranked around #20 or #21 and should not have played a lose-lose line-up of the following…

Current rankings on left, right, then
#8 Kansas #1
#2 Auburn #4
#6 Alabama #10
#7 Florida #7
#18 UCLA #18
# 20 Mich. State unranked
#22 Dayton unranked

Instead of a sensible ranking we started off at #9. Arguably we have only lost to one team ranked below us, MSU.
