All the clowns on here talk about how much trash is is but he out coached the shit out of Hubert tonight.Rich football schools are going to buy up all the best basketball coaches. Basketball is impotent before football, meaning football schools will own basketball over basketball schools.

Hubert didn’t make RJ, who is a reliable long range shooter, miss 9 threes and make none. That’s not the coach. That’s the players altogether. He wasn't out coached, his team was outplayed. This isn’t new. I’ve seen superior Dean and Roy teams crap the floor before also. Oats has issues that I’m so glad our HC doesn’t, starting with morals. No one predicted us to win the ACC with that record, come on now…All the clowns on here talk about how much trash is is but he out coached the shit out of Hubert tonight.
Hubert grew alot as a coach this year and it looks like were going to be in the mix every year going forward but he took a step back tonightHubert didn’t make RJ, who is a reliable long range shooter, miss 9 threes and make none.

Let’s give thanks to winning the Reg Season ACC title and see what Coach gets in the portal.

It amazing that I used to think the same way. It’s all good you do you. I stopped thinking along those lines when I hit 60. Suddenly I still cared but realized no matter what I thought, I wasn’t the coach, and the final score was the final score, and none of it was a life or death situation. Dean many times made me feel the same so I feel your pain, believe me, but the good thing is you woke up this morning and it’s a new day. Some people didn’t. That’s the serious part of life. Some players crap the bed at times, we don’t know why. While some people don’t know what a basketball is.Unless there is foul trouble or injury there is NO reason Withers should ever even be on the floor with a minute to play in the Sweet 16!
His line up was shit all night!

Hug your wife and kids today, tell them you love em. That’s what’s important brother. Yesterday’s gone, tomorrow’s not here, so we try to live for today the best we can. I can almost promise you one day you will look back and realize it wasn’t that big of a deal, about many things. God Bless, and enjoy your new day. 👍🏻
I seem to remember very well talking to my mother about Dean Smith being the worst coach ever several times, starting in the 1960’s. She would always tell me Dean wasn’t on the floor playing, and we weren’t on the bench coaching so learn to love Carolina or be miserable half the time come tournament time. She tried to get me to understand that we weren’t going to win the ACC or NCAA every year we played. There would be mistakes, there would be choices made she didn’t agree with. In the end it was just a game.Hubert grew alot as a coach this year and it looks like were going to be in the mix every year going forward but he took a step back tonight
Sitting your 5* PG and your best athlete for a make a wish kid in a Sweet 16 game was coaching malpractice

He looks awesome right now. But before this season, his record at Alabama during the tournament.Nate oats built a historical UNC team in Alabama with a fast-paced offense and a skilled big man. If Hubert is eventually let go, Oats should be high on the list as his replacement.
this was a very good carolina team, won the acc, sweet 16. everybody said all year that bama was lights out on offense but didn't play defense. well, in this game they decided to play defense, plus they had a key transfer who stepped up, just as manek did for carolina a couple years ago....Don’t linger on the bad, celebrate the good. 👍🏻
If you want this dude or anyone like him to coach Carolina we don’t care about Carolina for the same reasons.
@WoadBlue enjoys it whenever UNC loses at any sport but football. He delights in rubbing salt into the wound afterwards. He’s a jerk.I think some people start the dumbest threads.

2021: Loses as a #2 seed to #11 seed UCLA (S16)
2022: Loses as a #6 seed to #11 seed Notre Dame (1st round)
2023: Loses as a #1 seed to #5 seed San Diego State (S16)
A little bit of recency bias going on here. But I do think he's a good coach.
☝️This post speaking Facts!! Preach brother Preach!!I think you guys overvalue 5* and look at what you wanna see.
RJ Davis had 7 assists last night.
Cadeau had 1.
The end of half surge came with Cadeau on the bench. The beginning of 2nd half stagnation that had exactly 1 point in 4 and a half minutes and evaporated our lead was with Cadeau in. In that time period, Cadeau had a turnover, a missed layup, and 2 missed threes. I believe there was also 1 or 2 times he had the ball wide open or down by the goal and passed out of it.
Cadeau, Trimble, and Washington had the worst D Rating on our team last night per sportsreference.
I don't see this better flow that supposedly happened with Cadeau on the court. Him hitting a couple 3s early mitigated the 5 on 4 defense they were playing, but once that stopped the offense was dead with him in. He couldn't make the defense pay for it in any way, and his shots became increasingly more and more off as the game went on. Being a liability at the line, being a non factor on offense to the point the other team ignores you and wants you to shoot, and having one of our worst d ratings last night, and just a singular assist the entire game... I don't see what people wanted here.
RJ had an off night so we lost. We knew this was what likely would be the nail in our coffin if it happened. If he doesn't, we win by 20. Just how basketball goes sometimes.
Oats is only in his 5th year and just signed 2 McDonald’s players coming to Alabama this summer. I don’t think they are going away. To make the final four in your fifth year as head coach at a football school is quite an accomplishment.
@keysersosay#1 and @RP12 - besides playing Brandon Miller instead of sitting him, and as far as I know, he was not found guilty of anything, what other controversies would keep you away from oats? The counter argument is that he showed faith and loyalty in a young player.
Also, I don’t like Danny Hurley… But cannot deny the tremendous team he has built a UConn.
neither Alabama or Connecticut get the level of talent recruited at North Carolina and Duke.
I may be missing something, but what ethical issues do either of those coaches present that would prevent a program like North Carolina ever pursuing them?
(that said, I am a Hubert Davis fan and don’t want him to go anywhere.)
EC was our PG for a team that won 29 games, won the ACC regular season and earned a one seed. You don't try to experiment in the second half of a S16 game that you are leading at halftime. Go with what got you there. Hubert had a brain fart. He still had an overall great season, though.I think you guys overvalue 5* and look at what you wanna see.

Is your defining stupidity getting lessened somehow? Youn used two assert that I loved the football team losing.@WoadBlue enjoys it whenever UNC loses at any sport but football. He delights in rubbing salt into the wound afterwards. He’s a jerk.

At least for football, have you figured out that it is the losing that guarantees that people will comment ions how and why and proffer suggestions for improvement?
Great post and pics. Yes - Oats and Alabama and I guess Hurley and UConn have honed in on a strategy of maximizing points per possession and efg% - which I think started from DES - but it says most efficient places to score in this order are
There’s more than one way to do it but this is a really efficient shot chart from Alabama against Clemson.
This was UConn’s against Illinois.
I disagree with your statements because they just aren't really factually correct as you stated them. Cadeau was not our starting point guard the entire season. He did eventually take over. So that part is incorrect.EC was our PG for a team that won 29 games, won the ACC regular season and earned a one seed.

Make sure your numbers and times and etc also back up your assertion
Yes, but context is a good thing to use. A good chunk of those points in the second half were from FT, which had very little to do with EC being on the bench. Bottom line, I've never heard of a coach pulling their starting PG, which puts more pressure on your best player (who was already struggling) in that situation. Not sure why anyone would disagree to be honest. It's perfectly ok to say Hubert just made a mistake.Our offense scored at a higher rate with Cadeau on the bench.
Spoken by a guy that cares NOTHING for UNC basketball, in fact seems to be jealous about the success of UNC basketball. To love the UNC football program does not require that you allow your jealousy of UNC basketball success to tarnish your view of the basketball program. Most of us very actively LOVE UNC football, we want nothing more than UNC football to see a similar level of success as the basketball program, that is absolutely my position.Rich football schools are going to buy up all the best basketball coaches. Basketball is impotent before football, meaning football schools will own basketball over basketball schools.
Noticed your tag line for all your posts, "You can't wait until life isn't hard anymore before you decide to be happy". Words from a wonderful young woman that went by the name of Night Bird, before she succumbed to cancer. Respect for that!Well, if you read my post, I never said anything about starting, so my suggestion is to...
