Hubert Davis

What Would Jesus Do?
If we lose to Pitt at home and to Clemson on the road, Hubert is gone. Just a guess.

If Hubert is cut loose, who becomes temporary head coach? I assume it would be Lebo or Frederick. I wonder which the players would prefer.

If Hubert manages to survive the next 2 games, UNC has a pretty creampuffy schedule until the Duke rematch. Out of 6 games, only @FSU "should" be much concern. So whoever is coach - Hubert, Lebo or Frederick - will have a chance to fix things and maybe even get us into the tournament.

This game, as I shared in the game thread, encapsulated in the very last bucket duke got to end the first half. 6'9", #1 pick over all in the next NBA draft hits a jump shot over 5'11" RJ Davis. Duke started 2 6'6" guards, their PG looked like a NFL line backer, a sweet shooting 6'7" projected as a lotto in the next draft in K'snipple, 6'9" #1 pick in the next NBA draft, and Malisquatch at what 7'2 and can hang on the rim while standing flat footed on the court? That is insane length, not just a length advantage at every single position but huge length advantage at each position. Just have to realize how hard that is to contend with.

Your passing lanes shrink, they left Malasquatch in the paint choking off drives. The biggest team in NCAA vs one of the smallest teams in the NCAA, size matter a heck of a lot. I am actually more proud that those kids stood up and fought their behinds off in that second half. I actually saw Hubert do something I did not expect, we actually went to a zone, we actually used multiple defenses I can't recall Hubert having us in a zone since he has been head coach. That was a bit of an amazing half time adjustment, maybe Hubert is beginning to learn.

Team looked intimidated in that first half but they came out and played hard in that second half. It is one thing to watch duke play on tape but UNC simply can not replicate it to be able to be prepared for it, you can only experience it and experience it we darn sure did. I felt going in we were in for a butt kicking experience, I actually felt we would get beat by 30+, it is just a game of match ups and this is the worst match up we could face.

Now I get it, this game feeds to frenzy of the Hubert must go movement, some may not like my not being as upset over this or this game as they are. I am simply looking for positives, looking for things, even this late in the season that show me that we are moving more in a positive direction. Now if we can take how we played and build on it against Pitt, we can take that game. My concern is we have been in this position to build on a tough nose second half come back before only to come out un-prepared in the next.

Thank your you Dsouthr for breaking the game down so people who have never played organized basketball have a better idea of some of the ins and outs on things most likely people don’t even think about or consider and only look at the final score and nothing else.

You are one of few people who posted during the game about the giant mismatch that Carolina faced at Cameron when 4 of its starters aside from Lubin were smaller in height than the smallest Blue Devil starter who stood at 6’5…

Over and over again Knueppel the Duke McDonalds all American freshman posted up senior RJ Davis and easily shot over RJ and scored or got fouled. 24 points later the rout was on.

The mismatch in size was at every position and Carolina had no one size wise that Had a chance defensively against Flagg and Maluach but I will point out Lubin might have had his best overall game of the season.

Carolina could have had Coach Wooden, Coach K, Coach Knight, Coach Calhoun or even Coach Smith on the sidelines running the team and it would not have made a significant difference because Duke has more talent and more size than Carolina has this season.

What is most embarrassing about the beat down yesterday was how the many unknowledgeable fans complained how as a fan they felt the team showed no heart and no grit for 40 minutes. Many felt the team OWED them a explanation of what happened but to be FAIR the team owes the fans ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.

If you don’t think every player knowing the season is on the line every time they hit the court is feeling the weight and stress then it proves my point you have never played organized sports at any level.,

This is the time the fans should rise up in unison and help the team pick up the pieces and support them with everything they have instead of letting their personal ego and pride make silly statements and hate toward the coaching staff and the team..

Absolutely that might be an answer to why boosters are not wanting to part with money right now.

If I was a booster with heeps of money and I disliked the hire like i did my money would have stopped completely the day he was hired, then after the first season I would have said, I was wrong and spent again and then after the second season I would have been done for good till he was fired.

Shelby, now you are sneaking in to what I have been hearing, there have been some boosters that have been shy with the dollars, NOTE the 2 words "have been" as opposed to "right now". There seems to have been a major change in that, change that may have crystallized of all things by our hiring a football coach. There seems to be a ripple effect that has changed the picture a good bit. I am hesitant right now to join the feeding frenzy of demanding Hubert be fired today because I am curious what the next portal may look like for us going in with much deeper pockets.

Hubert, in this past portal was selling, son we may be $1 million less than those other programs in our upfront NIL but you will make that up and then some because of the stage and spot light we will give you. The reply was that is cool coach but we are talking a MILLION BUCKS, I like ya coach but a million bucks is a million bucks and you are asking me to spend a million bucks to play for you, good luck selling that, LOL?

Is North Carolina serious? What UNC does with basketball coach Hubert Davis will tell us

Holy crap did anybody see this article in USA Today

Yeah that article cut to the point and made a lot of sense. It needs to be a business decision, not an emotional one. It's tough as Hubert was a great player, and is a great person without a doubt. My guess is he gets one more year, but who knows at this point.

Not sure why we think we could lure Oats from his successes at Alabama to take over a dumpster fire here.

While looking up Oats to see if he maybe had some strong NC connections - apparently not - I ran into this Wikipedia comment

During the days immediately after Hurley announced his departure, Buffalo's athletic director at the time, Danny White, interviewed the team's players, all of whom advocated for Oats becoming the permanent head coach.​

Which makes me wonder who among our current coaches our players would rally around if told that Hubert was being cut loose. Would they try to save Hubert? Would they get behind Marcus? Who's the players' choice?

CBB is pretty much pro sports now. Oats would turn us around right away with the transfer portal. Alabama will always be considered a football school first.
