Funny I posted a thread at the same time as you and our screen names are near the same lol. But yes it appears to be true.
Not sure if that’s good or bad TBH. I could see them throwing the bank at someone like Brad Stevens and actually getting him. 
Just saw this. Daggummit, he knew Duke was gonna spank that *** next season.
Besides the academic cheating he knew about, I wish him well into retirement!

Stevens told the city of Boston he is staying. With young kids I don’t see him taking a job where there are no ties. Dude will make money wherever he goes so that won’t drive his employment.
Way to go Roy! Leave when the program is imploding. Doherty left you with a No.1 ranked recruiting class. True class act Roy
It is April 1st but appears to be true. Would explain the "expect lots of transfers" story.
It’s on the internet so it has to be true
I be doggone. Never thought he would go before Coach K. Who am I gonna poke fun at. Hope he isn't sick. Wes Miller will be the next coach. No problem picking at him . Don't like him either. OFC
Maybe he is going to take one of many NBA jobs that's been offered . OFC
If true, a good decision. K and Boeheim should as well. Of course, I wanted K to retire before this season. The game isn't what these guys are used to. They've had long, and good careers. Time to give the keys to fresh blood.
I’m not surprised. I could see a lot of older coaches calling it quits. The direction of athletics overall and dealing with this generation is getting harder and harder. Add covid....coaching is hard and thankless....takes away from your family a ton....I can see older coaches not wanting to be part of it anymore.
Sad day for college b-ball. Roy has been one of the best ever. Always respected him. I dislike unc but respect them and what he has done for unc and duke rivalry. College b-ball has been going down hill for years. And it’s the game and level I love the most. Respect to Roy and wish him the best!! He is on the Mount Rushmore of College basketball.
No I’m not. I’m simply going off what you said. Now don’t get harsh about it. But if you prefer I’m not a internet troll or soft so if you can’t back what you said and want to get all insecure I can give you my address and we can chop it up like real folk . Now I thought it was just some fun back and forth but you my friend seem like your taking it personal .
So, transfers and NIL forces Roy to retire or no longer being able to take advantage of academic fraud? 
that was my thought originally but it has been picked up by two many news sites for that.
Good post old pal. So please tell me who is on uncs short list? The whole board wants to know
Not a joke. And I’ll save mine also.
Roy was a phenomenal coach and one of college basketballs absolute all time greats. He put together one college basketballs last great teams in that 2008:/09 UNC team. He was simply amazing.
Next time I do post about him though it IS back to jokes.

I don’t know you tell me? Your the one that said with guarantee that it was Duke, UNC and UCLA THIRD. So now that UNC is open I was wondering was your info correct about Stevens wanting it!
But one have to think Hubert Davis is somewhere on their list. UNC grad,ESPN annaylist and is an assistant coach for UNC.

Wonder if Jordan would be interested. He would definitely be able to recruit.
He can't successfully run his NBA team. Bring him on!
I heard he was taking a job on the Nets staff. All jokes aside I've always respected Roy, scandal or not. He was one hell of a basketball coach and one of the best. Best wishes to Roy on his retirement.
