"People are going to speculate all they want. This team has my full focus. Nothing, nothing, I promise you -- nothing -- is knocking me off that path."
"The belief is UNC is willing to go 'outside the family' -- i.e., a non-alumni or former assistant -- for the first time since 1958."
"If it wanted anyone else outside the Final Four teams, then this would likely be over. Yet, sources across the sport say Carolina has done little to no outreach to perceived second-tier candidates."
"The transfer portal, which is how rosters are increasingly built, opens Tuesday. If someone isn't in place by then, the prospects for next season are already troubling."
North Carolina's basketball program is in a coaching search following the firing of Hubert Davis. The search has been quiet, with speculation surrounding potential candidates from the Final Four teams. Arizona's Tommy Lloyd, Michigan's Dusty May, and Connecticut's Dan Hurley are considered top targets. UNC is reportedly open to hiring outside the traditional alumni network for the first time since 1958. The transfer portal opens soon, increasing urgency for a new hire to ensure roster stability for the upcoming season.
