Matt Norlander reports UNC is looking to hire a full front office for basketball, and that NIL was subpar last offseason

How many programs have not only a GM, but an entire Front Office?

Interesting to see Norlander point out NIL funds were a problem.

so was this about a lack of commitment or shortsighted because they thought “the brand” would supersede anything and everything.

whatever the case, the admin believes in hubert so much he got an extension.

I certainly think UNC is going to compete, and not just shake their fist to the sky in their front yard and say "that's not how it was when I was a kid". 1930's weren't the the 1960's, which wasn't the 1990's, and that ain't the 2020's.

Every generation laments the next. Life moves on.

There was definitely a naive belief that the UNC brand and the Carolina way could continue to keep us elite in this new era of NIL and constant transfers.

And as Norlander mentioned, our NIL funds were simply not what they needed to be (and not just for basketball.) In my mind, I think our NIL collective needs new leadership.

Great they are keeping all the basketball hires in the UNC family. Glad to see Buzz being a part of this package of GM folks.

NIL is down because people not willing to contribute money to something they see as a sinking ship.

We can hire all we want and give them great titles but we need a coach, and until we address that we are always going to be middle of the road in a bad ACC

Maybe we could hire the 2024 ACC Coach of the Year who won the ACC Regular Season Championship, swept dook, and got a #1 seed in the NCAA tournament.
