I do not think Hubert should be brought back, but in all likelihood he will be back. Now the question is he going to keep the same set of asst coaches? Even if he does, will it make any difference? I like to see some changes in coaching front.
Assistant coaches

- Start date
IMO having only UNC alums on his staff is really stupid and narrow minded. I’ve also said all year… If he wants to play small ball, he had 0 people on his staff who played or coached under a coach who coached small ball.
It was a non sensical way to put together a staff IMO. Idk if any of that changes. It took them 4 seasons to figure out they needed a GM and an expanded staff. We’ll see.

If Hubert intends on trying to become a decent coach then he needs to evaluate the program top to bottom and see changes need to be made. This includes if it’s the best for him to step down then do it. This storied program has fallen so far by it’s unbelievable.
How many of these assistants would land D1 jobs if they were let go? It’s a pretty underwhelming staff sitting on the bench but hey, they have a Carolina degree so they’re qualified.
Whomever draws up the end games and timeout plays should coach a Rec Team
Let’s hand the ball to RJ and see if nobody notices is as predictable as it comes

As everybody should have learned with Mack Brown, the wrong hire as HC always has backers who want to blame it all on assistants. If we can get rid of the bad assistants and replace them well, then the HC will be proven a brilliant hire.
Almost never works. Why? Because if the HC had truly ben the right hire his first staff of assistants would have been good, in fact so good that they would haver to be replaced because ADs want them as HCs or more highly ranked and better paid assistants..
Should be on the phone right now with Leonard Hamilton to see if he wants to retire to his home state as an analyst or director of scouting…..Anything just get him on the staff….
Hubert should not be brought back. HD becoming the first black head coach at UNC was done with good intentions but for all the wrong reasons. Roy would be responsible and accredited with bringing in the first black head coach, just as his mentor, Dean, brought in the first black player in Charlie Scott. It would be Roys sincere heartfelt tribute to Dean. This monumental event was so important to Roy that he called in this favor upon his departure. No greater honor for Roy than to be associated with Dean, none.
The GM move just pacifies the masses for 1 more year otherwise HD would be replaced this year. There is indeed a huge outcry to end this experiment immediately. It takes decades of order to build a Blue Blood but only a few years of disorder to destroy it.
At times hard decision have to be made, to effectively manage you must identify weak spots and strengthen them. One real flaw in Hubert I have noticed, maybe it is changing a bit now, is he seems to feel it is vital for him to be friends with his players. Any effective manager will tell you that you simply must maintain a distinct line that is not crossed between the man in charge and those that report to him. The most common way a manager fails is being to close a friend to his charges.
AS a coach I don't need to know nor care what your favorite cookie is, I need to know what I need to do to develop you in to being the best player you can be, I need to hear from you what your are struggling with basketball wise, I need yo know where your head is and how badly you need to be more than you are right now.
I love Hubert but certainly have questions about all aspects of his coaching--roster management, rotations, etc. Skill development also bothers me but the little I know about coaching, that is usually in the hand of assistants so I worry about them too. I think Hubert is astute enough to know the clock is ticking next year. I have said it before, I sometimes wonder if Hubert is too much the big brother instead of the daddy.
Time to go! Love him as a person, as a head coach, he doesn’t have it.
