Like most of you, I feel very negative about what I see on the court. There is little to say positive about the situation our Heels find themselves facing. I just wanted to express, as frustrating as this team is, I am forever grateful to them for beating dook last year and ending that rivalry and going to the championship game. I will take this year's pain, but I may complain a little less. I will hope for better things, but like last year at this time, I have very little. These are still the boys that did the greatest accomplishment ever imo.

Thank you, Sir for the remaining one of the faithful! I too will remain positive and expect things to get better! I focus on things that are doing well like our incredible recruiting successes. I love how tough we are at times and lament how soft we are at times, sometimes in the same game! I love how much peeps like Bacot, Leaky, and Dunn seem to love UNC so much they put it all on the floor! I see plenty of potential and I know that even if this team fails to gel, Hubs has the program on the right track! He will have us in contention as soon as he gets his guys!
I too still love and support the Heels, win or lose. 🐏🐏🐏
I think everyone loves and supports the efforts of the team. But at the same time, this is UNC. A basketball brand. Embarrassing what we have out in the floor this season. The standard is far higher than what we are getting. Coaches are paid well. At this point in time the players also are being paid well. Pointing out that, patience to tolerate the type of play seen recently is very limited
We have seen many ups and (way fewer downs) in our collective decades as Carolina fans.
As frustrating as this seems now, the season is far from over. Let’s see what these young
men decide to make out of it.
For the consistent glass-half-empty ”fans”, keep on whining and bitching if you must.
For the rest of us pie-in-the-sky optimists, GO HEELS, BEAT THE TIGGERS!

I completely agree that the play we see on the court at times is unbelievably sub-standard! I am impatient at times myself with some peeps apparent lack of effort or passion for the game and/or UNC! BUT I think it is dispicable to bash our coaches or our players and still call ourselves Family! UNC doesn't fire coaches just because they have one bad season AND I can't remember a fan base calling for its coach to resign the year after taking an underperforming team to the Natty game!
UNC is special and the Carolina Way is why. It is often imitated but it has never been duplicated! The day UNC actually acts like peeps seem to want is the day we become just like those we supposedly despise AND that will be the day I move on!

For me, when we are in basketball season what I am thinking about is this current season and even more specifically the last game we played and the next one we will play. I will look back in a compare and contrast mode and consider how what I see now compares to the past but I live and think in the here and now. There is always plenty of time in the off season to reflect on the past but during the season I am locked in on the present.
Yes, I have been very critical of Hubert's decisions this season, I think it reflects more of a learning curve in Hubert than I expected, this feels a lot like learning on the job. I am not, don't think I have at any point called for Hubert to step down but I am not built to bury my head in the sand when I see something that I don't either understand or agree with. "Don't piss down my back and tell me it's raining"...
Sometimes I wonder, like after nearly every loss in the post game I hear the coach and players say, when asked what went wrong the reply is we need to communicate better? Ever wonder how many of these kid's major in school is actually COMMINUICATIONS? LOL
I have watched the Wake game post game from Hubert several times and frankly I found it harder to take than the game itself, it did anything but inspire in me the confidence to feel this can be turned around. Rather than confident it took me to an even more concerning place than I was just after that game, it sent serious shock waves of "they don't know what to do". Yes, there does appear to be a very serious disconnect but that disconnect seems to be between the staff and the players in that the staff seems to not understand at all where their players heads are? You, as UNC head coach have a team with now publicly known very serious chemistry issues and when asked when this started the reply is "I don't know"? I am sorry but that is an admission that the coach does not know his players and it is well in to February? I am not suppose to recognize that when I see it, I am not suppose to discuss it when I see it, sorry but this ain't that movie man. This is exactly, as I have shared many times before, why the UNC is one of the worst jobs in the country for a coach that is not rock solid ready. If you are having to learn OTJ as it appears Hubert is, then the questions are going to be asked and what you were able to do last season just is not going to explain away what is happening now.
I am NOT calling for Hubert to be fired or to step down nor do I want to see that but I promise you this, if come next Feb we are stilling watching the same nonsense happen, my stance there WILL change! I want Hubert to be wildly successful as our head coach, last season gave me hope that could happen, this season is slowing ripping away that hope.
