I thought HD had bottomed out before Saturday, then I saw the starting lineup. Nah, he's still digging. Until he bottoms out the team will be going down with him.

Has he tried a 5-guard starting lineup yet?

We're already the shortest team in the ACC, but we could get shorter.

The entire game did in the Heels in- they took their foot off of our throats in the 2nd half which is the only reason we didn't lose by 30+ they got bored of beating on a dead horse. If it had been K- it would have been 40+.

True but what and team taking any thing they can get to have an advantage if they can get away with it isn't necessary wrong. It's the refs job to make the calls and if they arent then IMO it good coaching to be doing it.

But back to my initial question it's your call on the next coach who's phone number you dialing?

I have no surprise that's what you want, which suggests you might've been happier all these years pulling for a darker shade of blue where getting away with stuff and relying on refs has been their M.O. for decades.

IIRC, Dean Smith and Roy Williams somehow managed to be pretty good coaches without resorting to those shortcuts.

Oh, you want an answer? OK, my first move tomorrow as AD would be to go down our bench starting with Hubert and ask which one of you is willing and able to stop this reinventing-the-wheel foolishness and start coaching the Carolina basketball you were taught?

You might want to read what you write. Yeah, Tyler was physical, but not in the way the euphemism is too often thrown around. He didn't grab, hold, knee and undercut as a shortcut for playing actual defense --- but he was forunately physical enough to play thru the myriad opponents who tried that crap on him.

I just want some insight into what thug ball is, I'm assuming what is called thug ball is simply physical basketball. A team that is physical is a tought team JMO. Every good team needs a little bit of a nastiness or attitude to them are effective.

Tyler Hansbrough was one of the most physical basketball players I have ever seen we loved him. Matter of fact he would have been textbook for a team like Detroit in the 80's.

Because I'm not saying this in a negative way toward you but you and also few others here like to call any coach or team that isn't Carolina cheaters or used car salesmen.

So honest question who is your guy?

False premise. I do no such thing. If I call any coaches out, that is because they deserve it.

Sign me up for 1/2 that amount. I guarantee an air ball but I promise to beat the shot clock.

Yeah? Me too, but don't ask me to come out confident to bury 3s after I've been buried on the damn bench for most of the season.

Sadly the Blackhawk co-pilot was a UNC grad planning on going to medical school after the Army. I assume the pilot had command of the helo not her.

it's hard to tell what with the quality of reporting nowadays, but I get the impression it might very well have been her. It's very hard to understand how this had to happen when it could have been prevented by simply staying within the given acceptable altitude, particularly when intersecting flight paths.

ETA...I have gotten pretty disgusted that an already overloaded air space around DC was made more crowded and dangerous by self-serving politicians who insisted on even more traffic just to make it more convenient for them to travel back and forth from their homes.

and as usual, ingenuity and independent thought gets kicked to the bureaucratic curb. Ten million people don't give a shit but just one...you guessed it...A'HOLE complains and the bureaucrats go into overdrive. Why can't it be OK just to tell someone to get a life and stop reading license plates upside down if that is their peculiar problem.

I hope his new plate says 'SPHINCTER' or 'HEMI-ROIDS'. It won't say 'FU' or 'FVCK YOU' because you know that's been turned down thousands of times before.
