Kentucky fan here. If there’s anything I can relate to UNC fans on, it’s the expectations. Davis has not met UNCs expectations. UNC is only a blue blood because of its high standards for itself
If Carolina had the money to spend bringing in a top notch big then they would have done so. Like it or not Carolina is not seen as a pipeline to the NBA the way Duke and KY are. And that means Hubert will have to spend that much more if he hopes to get top notch talent like Cooper Flagg. Time for Tarheel backers to ante up if they want to stay in the blue blood club.
@@MrBmick79hell not even that. Only thing he’s done is go ona Cinderella run a few seasons back, and even that was carried by Brady Maneks crazy pop up impact in the tourney.
No Bubba needs to go. UNC has needed a GM really bad due to all of the recruiting misses UNC has had not just in the HD era, but also in the Roy Williams era because his last few years at UNC were not good as well.
If the AD and UNC Board of Trustees are willing to hire Bill Belichick and commit to football I fully expect them to Fire Hubert and hire the best possible candidate who's willing to coach at Carolina. It's just a matter of time when this happens in 2025
Hubert wants NBA offense. Every NBA teams have a big man in the middle.hubert needs to learn how to press .I want to see Ian rj Seth drake James brown lineup can't b any worse this is 100 percent on Hubert Elliot should come off. The bench to many turnovers
Hubert, nice guy, terrible coach. They do not run a offense, he is terrible at making any adjustments late in the game. He said this team would make running the floor a number one priority. They dont run much.
@@ratner111 Running is usually effective only if you can get up the court with a numbers advantage or before the defense is set. That seldom happens without a defensive rebound or turnover. Like the guy above said UNC is poor at both of those metrics.
As a lifelong Carolina fan, nothing about this team, coach , season, program is acceptable. UNC fans are not going to accept mediocrity. The program refuses to move on from the Dean Smith legacy, and that will ultimately be its downfall. What this program is currently is a living museum.
Hubert gave me grave concerns when he was hired when he said he wasn't going to be like Roy thinking about basketball all the time He said he was going go into work and then when he goes home ..he wasn't taking basketball wirh him..
I disagree that this isnt a major issue for carolina, we cant keep having a good year, then an atrocious one, too many wild ups and downs over drastically short periods of time, heck even within one game we go down by 20 then come back sometimes to take the lead and sometimes only make a push to lose the game. This doesn't even take into consideration the numerous swing and misses during recruitment and off season transfer portal loses.
@@Kream180 Idk, man. There is so much to this. Does he have the money to give? Do you bring in a guy who doesn't fit the culture just because they are talented? I can understand why many coaches are leaving.
Not a Hubert Davis problem because they didn’t have this problem last year, its pretty simple with the Elite guards they never replaced the production whether that production be on Offense or Defense, of Armando Bacot. Or just a Big who you can say go get us a bucket to stop another teams run, or just a very intune(defensively) big.
Hubert is very competitive and tough-minded. But is he nasty enough to bring that out of his players? Or a combination of needing to recruit nastier players? There are many talented players who don't have the level of competitive spirit needed.
Hubert Davis is a great person, but subpar coach. This is his roster, and he can't seem to coach the scheme that will win or get these players to play hard. Davis's only run to the final four were with Roy's players. Hès not even in the conversation with Dean Smith, Roy Williams
I agree with all the takes other then the 7 in a row take. I have a hard time believing that UNC will beat all of Stanford, SMU, and State. They’ll drop Atleast 1, maybe 2.
each season, teams have ~5 months of BBall. miss the NCAAT, you forfeit that last month. in the HD era, we had 1 good month in '22, 0 in '23, 4 in '24 and so far zero (of two) months. basically, 5 good months out of a total of 17 so far. it has been obvious our frontcourt was going to be without bacot for at least his last 2 seasons. HD did not land a single high level big nor serviceable bigs with size. UNC has gotten less than the sum of parts with what they do have that includes multiple 4 and 5 stars including 3 top 10 HS ballers. i can only look at coaching as a valid reason for underperforming over 60% of the HD era.
A fish rots from the head down. There is no way to analyze this where the blame does not land with Hubert. We are talking about very basic things here. We cant grab a rebound, we cant stay in front of a defender. The Offense” is really hard to watch. We stand around and do nothing. I think we got lucky to go to the final game and remove that and their has been way more negative than positive.
Doesn't look good that Wes Miller was runner up to become head coach at UNC. Wes has Cincinnati ranked and if I'm not mistaken he's got a top 25 recruiting class coming in next year.
He has yet to make the tourney at Cincy. Hiring Wes, just like Hubert is a nepotism hire. If you're interviewing candidates and looking at coaching resumes. Neither coach is the best candidate for this job had they not both played here.
I think the real problem is there aren't many Elite coaches left in the game today. in the 90's we had Dean SMith, Roy Williams, Bobby Knight, Lute Olson, Rick Majerus, Pitino, Thompson, Boheim, Izzo, and even Coach K's crybaby ass......who do you turn that program over to if you let Hubert Davis go?
"Even coack K's crybaby ass". Yeah, that's right. Talk down the coach with 5 natties and more wins than any college coach in history. And that last one is a record that will probably never be broken. K ain't no crybaby. He was a winner like you wish to hell your school had. And a better in game coach and recruiter than every other coach you just named.
@@paulherring8959 Coach K is a cheat, a coward, and a man with ZERO integrity. If it weren't for Grant Hill, that man woulda struggled to have 3 championship titles. Other than Elton Brand and Corey Maggette, I'm hard pressed to think of any Duke players that I actually enjoyed watching play. Half of them are dirty players who had the machine behind them so they kept getting contracts. The cherry on top is Hubert Davis beating K on tow of the most important nights in K's career.
We need a GM, i don't know what happened with the GM we hired from Kentucky. I can only find his initial article of him being hired. I think it's malpractice from our athletic program during the NIL/Collective era because there's no way our football team and basketball team has $4mil each to put out a contending roster. In this era you get what you pay for.
Hubert is stubborn in his philosophy’s. from game management, to using his bench to his recruiting. personally I like Hubert Davis, but this is a totally different world from when he played at Carolina. and even when he was hired as an assistant. When Roy William’s retires, and North Carolina did a nation wide search for the next coach, you would have had such a high interest from both NBA and major college coaches. my feeling is if Carolina misses the tournament this year, Hubert Davis comes back on a red this is a totally different scenario from when Doherty’s three years.
What's crazy is that they don't even need stars in the frontcourt. They just need a couple of guys that can score, rebound, and defend decently. They don't even have that this year lol.
@Devthesportsjunkie still comes down to coaching. See Davis wants shooters he was spoiled with Bacot and others. What he fails to truly understand He preaches "Carolina Way" and he doesn't back it up. Establish the front court 1st
@@camorton2345 naw he needs a dominant big, cause with the guards he has, they are shot makers so they would be fine with whatever shooting they are getting from the outside, they are missing a elite presence down low despite having elite guard play this year.
Well according too Hubert anytime he is asked “size doesn’t matter it’s about heart” that’s his coping mechanism for his shitty roster construction and recruiting job and hasn’t made any adjustments at all and it’s some of the ugliest basketball I’ve ever seen and this is his complete roster and playstyle he supposedly wants….
"There's nothing to panic about" Have you watched this team play? Outside of transition offense and iso ball, we have nothing offensively. Our half court sets are abysmal!! Couple that with atrocious defense, and we are not a good team. That's 100% on Hubert.
@giant704 who Doherty? 3 seasons at UNC only one winning season yeah he was trash as HC at UNC horribly 8-20 4-12 ACC Ask any UNC Fan Doherty was never a favorite
@@camorton2345 To be fair to Doherty, Gutheridge left the cupboard absolutely bare for him. Gutheridge didn't do anything while he was there other than ride Smith's coat tails. Doherty had almost nobody coming in and had to start from scratch. My issue with Doherty wasn't his coaching. I think he could have made a decent coach. His problem was culture. He tried to change too much too soon. Burned a lot of bridges. That's why he only lasted 3 seasons. Then Roy comes in and wins his first 'ship with Doherty's players. Hubert's issues are different. This is his first HC job. He is trying to learn on the fly at one of the most prestigious basketball programs on the planet. Not an ideal situation.
@SirGalahadThePure I agree to disagree but Roy also won 2 titles with his own team as well. That 05 team was all Doherty Roy just enhanced them. Davis has had plenty of time being a under study. He's not fit to be a HC no excuses. We have no inside presence this yr and it's showing, Davis does not know how to adjust. This is Carolina we don't take losing very well in Basketball and the season is definitely lost. Davis is not it I'm sorry
I wasn't sure with UNC finishing 2nd in the ACC without knowing what the other teams would look like. Def don't think they can now. This team barely beat GT at home. That is something to be concerned about. I get what you guys are saying, but they have not shown that they are a team that deserves to be in the NCAA tourney. I'd also argue that they were close in some of the losses not due to their own incredible play, though there was some, but rather to their opponent's sloppy play. The two games where the opponent didn't slip the whole game, Auburn and Alabama, UNC really had no shot at winning. UNC only has what I would call one convincing wire-to-wire win on the season against La Salle. They simply aren't that good. I feel this is the new norm in college basketball, though. You bring guys in through the portal and hope you evaluated them properly and the pieces fit. My guess is we will see teams come and go from relevancy unless the coach is just really good at evaluating their players.
All of y'all are wrong. It's not HD fault. He was given the keys to the UNC basketball program because Roy Williams knew that HD would run the program the same way he did and that's the Carolina way, unfortunately the Carolina way is no longer working. Duke and UK are constantly beating UNC on the recruiting trail. The best players on UNC have been the 5* recruits especially Jackson, as UNC basketball has struggled for the past 10 plus years trying to get recruits of Jackson's caliber or similar UNC also has Powell who was a late bloomer, because he wasn't a 5*recruit when he committed to UNC luckily he eventually turned into one. Also UNC let Alabama come and get Stevenson the hometown kid out of chapel Hill kinda like how UK was able to get John Wall and Bam out of here.
We don’t expect 30 win seasons every season. What we do expect is to make the tourney every season and maybe the sweet 16. On the verge of missing another tourney. Not acceptable. Put Brown in at center and see what happens. Can’t be worse
Welp UNC basketball program needs to realize that it has a recruiting problem and they need to solve it trust me UK and Duke would be struggling too if they had the same kind of success that UNC has had on the recruiting trail.
I'll say it again and again recruiting recruiting recruiting. Duke, UK would have the same problem that UNC has if they were having the trouble that UNC has on the recruiting trail and the transfer portal. Bubba has failed because he has not hired a GM, something that Duke realized it would be a smart thing to do and them also fully embracing NIL has helped them tremendously, they need to hire a GM and no it doesn't need to be a Carolina guy, it needs to be someone with a good track record someone who knows the ins and outs of college basketball recruiting and someone who has a impeccable record when it comes down to getting recruits to commit. If UNC doesn't fix this and realize that it's time to update the "Carolina way", UNC basketball and it's fans will unfortunately have to get used to seasons like this and it won't matter who's the coach if they don't fix this, Bubba may need to retire if he fails to realize that it's time for UNC basketball to adapt to the NIL era.
If the argument to keep Hubie is that he has enough success, then please tell me what is the plenty of success? He had a run of 5 wins to make the championship game his rookie coaching year. Ok. What else? Does he have another "success" in his NC coaching career?
Davis has had what 3 seasons and this is his 4th? Making a National Title game in 4 years would be considered miraculous at 99% of the programs in America. Ya'll drop Davis like a hot potato too fast and you'll be scrambling for a quality head coach just like KY just did. They got lucky with Mark Pope. UNC might not be so lucky.
Hubert needs to be fired, but they are afraid they will get backlash for rascism if they fire him. Hubert just isnt cutting it and next year will be worse. My gut tells me he comes back next year but will be fired at the end of the 25-26 season. Its one season too long in my opinion.
Hubert literally relies on the talent to just go out there and do the job , Ian and rj just go 1 on 1 and try to go get buckets , there’s no team chemistry 0 gameplan and 0 defense
The heels are far more talented than their performance now. Something is wrong. I think the coaches have failed to inspire the players to be their best...they seem to lack confidence and are not playing like they believe they are champions.
I love my heels..this team isn’t good. We’ve had really good teams that started 0-3, 0-4 in conference play. I know Ty and Hansbrough did..and they bounced back. This team will not bounce back…they are like our Cole Anthony team..and nowhere near as bad as the Adam Boone/morrison team.🤔. You gotta have bigs to compete and I still can’t believe we don’t have any. We were highly ranked in rebounding year in year out prior. Hubert needs to tell these bigs to rebound the ball like Zoubek and kick for volume threes. We got 3 slashers…jack, Powell, and Trimble. All the other guys need each other.
Everyine brings up the National Championship run Manek told us exactly what happened to cause them to battle beginning with the Duke 2nd regular season game They dumped all the complicated offensive and defensive schemes Hubert kept wanting to run .. They went out and played 1 vs 1 2 vs 2 3 vs 3 etc .. Also they blew leads becasuw rhey would get a big lead and Hubert would start coaching He let that cough cough guard try to shoot his way into MOP to get his name in the records Yes ....he is on the hot seat And we keep saying the same thing every year about him The issue is we can beat bad teams and get crushed by good teams 15 and 6 means squat unless you look and Net or Ken pom numbers Its rhr same every year... We lose more games we should have won and don't win games we are under dogs And therr is rhe underlying culture problem...listening to his pressers. Ugh ..just generic answes that I could go out and say after any team plays ... He can't even handle and opening statement... Just the fact he is incapable and UNC PR knows he is incapable of presenting an opening statement tells a lot . He isn't all in ..and his players aren't all in Its OK we lost and don't play with passion because I am teaching them to lose gracefully
They missed on the big men. With Armondo he provided an inside presence that needed to be accounted for which opened things up for RJ. RJ is easier to guard without that presence. With Elliot regressing he is a non factor offensively which makes it tough for RJ. They need to be a top five scoring team in the nation to have a shot at being good given their defensive deficiencies.
Needs to start Davis (PG), Jackson, Powell, Washington, Tyson. Rotation Lubin & Withers backup Washington (3 headed monster at center with 15 fouls to give), Cadeau backup Davis, Trimble (6th man, Backup Tyson, Powell)
Kentucky fan here. If there’s anything I can relate to UNC fans on, it’s the expectations. Davis has not met UNCs expectations. UNC is only a blue blood because of its high standards for itself
In this day n age Carolina should be top 3 every year..go after all top players it’s ridiculous..
They should have Jordan brand money!
haha
Top 3 yearly expectations is insane and won’t ever happen for any team
If Carolina had the money to spend bringing in a top notch big then they would have done so. Like it or not Carolina is not seen as a pipeline to the NBA the way Duke and KY are.

I pray everynight UNC lets Hubert go.....Everynight i pray they say we no longer need your services
Praying for someone to lose their job?
If the argument to keep Hubie is that he has enough success, then please tell me what is the plenty of success? He had a run of 5 wins to make the championship game his rookie coaching year. Ok. What else? Does he have another "success" in his NC coaching career?
Davis has had what 3 seasons and this is his 4th? Making a National Title game in 4 years would be considered miraculous at 99% of the programs in America. Ya'll drop Davis like a hot potato too fast and you'll be scrambling for a quality head coach just like KY just did. They got lucky with Mark Pope. UNC might not be so lucky.
Yea since he was hired unc should hired outside the program never listen to former coach
i like hubert davis haha
Hubert needs to be fired, but they are afraid they will get backlash for rascism if they fire him. Hubert just isnt cutting it and next year will be worse. My gut tells me he comes back next year but will be fired at the end of the 25-26 season. Its one season too long in my opinion.
Hubert literally relies on the talent to just go out there and do the job , Ian and rj just go 1 on 1 and try to go get buckets , there’s no team chemistry 0 gameplan and 0 defense
The heels are far more talented than their performance now. Something is wrong. I think the coaches have failed to inspire the players to be their best...they seem to lack confidence and are not playing like they believe they are champions.
I love my heels..this team isn’t good. We’ve had really good teams that started 0-3, 0-4 in conference play. I know Ty and Hansbrough did..and they bounced back. This team will not bounce back…they are like our Cole Anthony team..and nowhere near as bad as the Adam Boone/morrison team.🤔. You gotta have bigs to compete and I still can’t believe we don’t have any. We were highly ranked in rebounding year in year out prior. Hubert needs to tell these bigs to rebound the ball like Zoubek and kick for volume threes. We got 3 slashers…jack, Powell, and Trimble. All the other guys need each other.
As an alum, I am sooooo disappointed. I'm trying to stay positive for the sake of Ian and Seth, but HD needs to go.
Everyine brings up the National Championship run
Manek told us exactly what happened to cause them to battle beginning with the Duke 2nd regular season game
They dumped all the complicated offensive and defensive schemes Hubert kept wanting to run ..
They went out and played 1 vs 1 2 vs 2 3 vs 3 etc ..
Also they blew leads becasuw rhey would get a big lead and Hubert would start coaching
He let that cough cough guard try to shoot his way into MOP to get his name in the records
Yes ....he is on the hot seat
And we keep saying the same thing every year about him
The issue is we can beat bad teams and get crushed by good teams
15 and 6 means squat unless you look and Net or Ken pom numbers
Its rhr same every year...
We lose more games we should have won and don't win games we are under dogs
And therr is rhe underlying culture problem...listening to his pressers. Ugh ..just generic answes that I could go out and say after any team plays ...
He can't even handle and opening statement...
Just the fact he is incapable and UNC PR knows he is incapable of presenting an opening statement tells a lot .
He isn't all in ..and his players aren't all in
Its OK we lost and don't play with passion because I am teaching them to lose gracefully
He is decent coach he is a horrible team builder..his roster construction is and has not been good
Yes! He’s terrible. He was terrible as an analyst and he’s terrible as a coach.
They missed on the big men. With Armondo he provided an inside presence that needed to be accounted for which opened things up for RJ. RJ is easier to guard without that presence. With Elliot regressing he is a non factor offensively which makes it tough for RJ. They need to be a top five scoring team in the nation to have a shot at being good given their defensive deficiencies.
Hubert Davis is A Good Coach but I'm a Duke fan. I'm not judging him
I'm enjoying it
Until ya'll win a championship I don't want to here 💩 from ya'll dook fans we beat ya'll win it counted you remember calab love.
Fire the recruiting crew ... Sheez no size and guards with no blow by skills
BELICHICK could have coached the basketball team to more wins at this point!
This won’t age well. You guys will be roasting Belichick when he doesn’t make the college football playoffs next Fall.
@@jalemo No we won't.
He should have never brought RJ back
He needs to start CADEAU....JACKSON.....POWELL....WITHERS....WASHINGTON
Needs to start Davis (PG), Jackson, Powell, Washington, Tyson. Rotation Lubin & Withers backup Washington (3 headed monster at center with 15 fouls to give), Cadeau backup Davis, Trimble (6th man, Backup Tyson, Powell)
Withers 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
No. RJ, Seth, Ian, Powell, Brown
