UNC Hires Jim Tanner as its Basketball General Manager

Great hire and many more years for "not my favorite" coach Davis. Once again, keeping it in the family of UNC alum.

So this just your default reaction?
I have been hard on Davis too and still am not sold on him completely. That being said, he has made some needed adjustments lately and seems to be pushing the right buttons.
Also, anyone that took the time to listen to any players post game interviews will understand he has not lost his players respect or trust.
If we are average again next year, I will be driving the bus to remove him as Coach.
Until then, this is the best couple of days in a row our fanbase has had all year.
Maybe enjoy it?😊

Why keep it in the family for this GM when keeping it in the family with HC is a key part of the current issues?

Keeping it in the family is always incest of some type and there always detrimental long term. If any ion you have advanced degrees and have been part of any conversations among faculty admin people, a first thing you will learn is that schools want to avoid any keeping it in the family for academic hires.

Tannner may be perfect for the job, or he could be another part of the 'UNC basketball family uber alles' problem.

Mitch was my #1 want but no problem at all with Tanner. You want some one comfortable in the agents world that is tuned in to how the $$$ have to look to get the players we need. I do want to know who he reports to, it needs to be Bubba more than the coach in my opinion, want them on the same page for sure.

We hired a sports agent for the GM of a college basketball program, what could possibly go wrong!
