I don’t watch the TNT studio shows that often, but Kenny might be the smartest basketball analyst on TV. He’s really sharp. I’ve heard some of his thoughts in terms of game action literally come to fruition right away.

Lot of big jobs changing hands. And with the massive transfer portal, it’s shaping up as quite a tumultuous off-season. Coach K and Bill Self might as well move on too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Hubert Davis was specifically recruited by Williams to fill his spot once he decided to retire...He didn't leave his cushy analyst job at ESPN for nothing... But we'll see...

Like you I want tyhe guy that wants to be here and has the ability to win. ;Same goes for players IMO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rico Posted April 1, 2021 Report Share Posted April 1, 2021 You really can't blame UNC for going after Stevens. Why wouldn't they? But TBH, I think they should give Doherty a second chance. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, I don't beleive that is true, but if he becomes a candidate - I think we as fans who grasp to everything need to pause a little before making things gospel. But, no doubt Stevens would do well, probably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL I don't know...they're ate up with loyalty there (not that there's anything wrong with loyalty)...I remember when Guthridge was hired one of the ESPN talking heads asked Williams if he was disappointed that he got "passed over." He said something to the effect that if they had tried to get him to UNC at that time, he would have turned them down flat, and that Coach "Gut" deserved the position... That's why I think Hubert Davis is the hands down favorite for the job now... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bushmage Posted April 1, 2021 Report Share Posted April 1, 2021 We are forever done with saying its IU who are the delusional fans. Waiting for Goodman and Rothstein to turn heel and say this is plausible too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted April 1, 2021 Report Share Posted April 1, 2021 I was indifferent with Roy for most of my watching his teams play life. Seemed like a genuine guy but some of those Kansas teams had some shade around them. I will say after his team visited IU/Bloomington for a game he was very, very complimentary of our crowd and IU. Even suggested he wished North Carolina could have an atmosphere like that besides when they played Duke. Wish him luck in retirement. Can't imagine anyone besides Hubert Davis getting the gig. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
