I was extremely disturbed at his gameplan last night.
They got humiliated by an average Tennessee team. And he couldn’t even get Momcilovic a shot.

I’m mildly curious about this too. Sometimes initial stances are l t the final word. Probably not the case here, but who knows.

I think pulling out of our search and his performance last night told us all we need to know…TJO is not ready for the big time. Maybe one day.

I think he said no because he wasn’t offered.

While I was never as excited about the prospects of TJO at Carolina as the vast majority of IC posters, it's also disingenuous for everyone to completely ignore the fact that Jefferson's injury completely derailed Iowa State's chances to make a deep run in March.

Please, no. He can stay in Iowa.
Meanwhile Barnes is in elite 8 for 3rd straight year. Impressive.

Not going to judge his coaching because I didn’t watch a single full game of theirs all year. But in the short interviews and background I’ve seen, I think his a midwestern guy for life.

I never wanted him. He’s not a big time coach. He’s good at coaching up lesser talent but that doesn’t work consistently at UNC. We need a dude who can put together highly athletic and competitive elite talent.
