Take a few weeks off from this board, and wow the whole dynamic changes. I guess the chapter per poast writer succeeded in his mission. Now the main bb thread is shut down and ootb
has to learn to hold hands and sing kumbaya while talking basketball. I wonder if things will changeover there as well.
As for basketball, it seems we still get some and miss on lots. With the lineups we will have in the next couple of years it will force ole roy to change his approach some. I think his preferred style would still dominate, but for whatever reasons you want to associate it for, we are missing elements due to recruiting.
The landscape of the game as a whole has changed over the last decade. As time goes, it is less appealing than it use to be. With that, the fan base has shifted as well. With what has transpired over the last year or so on these boards, everyone should know it wasn't like that in 05 or 09. UNC is not the powerhouse we once were. Hopefully, kids will start coming back to this school to play from the top ranks, but only time will tell.
Personally, if we have a team full of players who are totally committed and sold out to coach, then I really don't care what rank they are or where we end up at the end of the year. Not saying all kids we have had are like that, but some have been. That to me is hard to watch. I can't imagine what it's like for coach. I know it drives us fans crazy.
