spot on this game gary. we are poorly coached, very predictable which makes us easy to defend. what is most disheartening is to see the apathy set in. we’ve got to move on from Hubert and right the ship.

My son and I said the same thing we have to be the easiest team to guard and scout for. Hubert needs to gone. Yes it’s on the players too making bad plays but our schemes sometimes make you wonder if anyone scouted the other team.

Glad to reply:

1) Would you give Hubert the 25/26 season to begin the return of Carolina hoops to a top level?
As I have shared multiple times now, I am slightly swayed to giving Hubert at least 1 m,ore season. I have addressed several times why, please allow me to not re[pat that now, my thinking has not changed. I want to wait til we have played our last game this season and re-consider this.

Now if I am Bubba, I have already been making use of back channels to gauge interest from coaches that may be more ready to take on a job like ours. If I pull the trigger on Hubert, there is zero chance I would not already have the replacement guy already lined up and ready, it can not be a long drawn out process.

2) If you would not (and you can roleplay Bubba C), who would you realistically* choose as our HC?
Oh if only! LOL My first contact and honestly, I don't think I would have to make another phone call, no shock, it would be to Kelvin Sampson. Give me an hour to sit down with Kelvin and he would be our next head coach, not a single doubt in my mind, no matter how big the check had to be. I would never need to call Jay Wright or Mark Few.

My perception of coach Kelvin Sampson from afar was always very high, and continues to be in regards to his coaching acumen.
Living in Southern Indiana though I have relationships with Indiana alumni and donors, as well as people within the inner circle that paint a much more harrowing picture of Sampson off the court.
He ran a Rouge basketball program at IU, deficient of many rules and ethics we hold as standards at Carolina.
His players were allowed to skirt rules and many were unbecoming college students.
I don't know how much Sampson learned from his time at Indiana and what he allowed to take place, let alone his obvious breaking of NCAA rules. ( Those seem silly in light of what has been allowed last 20 years) but he seems to run a tight ship at Houston.
From afar of course
Taking this into consideration and Sampsons age, I would be a hard pass on him as our next coach.
I think his age and all that Houston has invested as far as facilities and such in the last few years, he isn't going anywhere.
I think you would be wasting that hour of your life.

If we do have a new commitment to NIL, I would pose this question - What have we seen over the last four years to make us confident Hubert can develop and coach up a team full of good players? I witnessed a preseason #1 team opt out of the NIT and I can’t not remember that happened. This year appears to be another example of a top 10 preseason team that will miss the ncaa tournament.

"What have we seen over the last four years to make us confident Hubert can develop and coach up a team full of good players?" Not enough to be rock solid confident, I hope you didn't expect me to say anything other than that? LOL

But while most were happy with how we played last season, winning the ACC regular season championship, being the #1 over all seed in the last NCAAT, Hubert being named ACC COY... Most seemed really please at all that, most only got pissed when we lost that game to bama. But me, I didn't like the decisions that were made, I was not the happy camper most others seemed to be. I saw no reason we were as small as we were, I wanted Ingram at the 3, JWash at the 4 (or JWit), with Bacot and frankly, I may have started Cormac over RJ at the 2, with Cadeau at the point. Can you see how much longer that would have made us, we would have had a size advantage at every position other than at the point. And as I have said so many times, size matters in sex and basketball! The bigger you are in either, the more you score! LOL

05champs, this was all set in motion once the portal season ended. Hard for me to believe there is anyone that follows this stuff closely that didn't realize that our being so badly under sized was a monster of a problem that required a radical departure from anything we have seen since Hubert took over and who expected that from Hubert?
