I'm still not sure why The Nuggets fired him. Has anything gotten the slightest bit better for them since he was dismissed? Joker still carries way too much of the load. That certainly hasn't changed.

Here is real unc problem you dismissed an all time program guy

The very top of the market candidates all got incumbent raises

Say there was some sliver of rumor gospel on billy d you are now a week into portal and those negotiations dont pan out

You are now a laughing stock don't think unc admin group wanted a part of that

Malone as a youngster lived in West Orange and his sister was friends with my youngest daughter.

Don’t get the hate. Malone is an nba champion as a coach lmao.

I know nba coaches transferring to college can be rocky ( Mike Woodson) and in football ( billiceck lol) but Malone was a great nba coach and for me his style fits college game for me.

Very defensive focused and strong focus on team play and development.

Malone's daughter plays volleyball at NC. Didn't realize there was that connection.

Obviously he is a highly experienced, accomplished coach. Will be interesting to see how it translates to the college game.
