Not going to be Tommy Lloyd.

Tommy Lloyd staying at Arizona: Wildcats coach turning down massive offer from North Carolina

Lloyd put an end to all speculation with a press conference announcement on Friday at the Final Four

MY son the Wildcat is ecstatic. Well played by Lloyd getting his new contract AND cleaning this up before the actual FF games, and good job by Arizona finding the cash to keep him.

I couldn’t be happier that Lloyd isn’t going to UNC. Seems like that hire is on track to underwhelm.

Baffles me why UNC fans think Billy Donovan is going there. There are no NBA coaches that are willingly stepping down from the NBA to coach college. "But the Bulls are bad!" Ok? And? Coaches will take coaching a bad NBA team over willingly going back to the college game 9 million times out of 9 million.

Because he will get fired most likely

Donovan is a big risk. Never built a team with NIL rules. As bad as we have been we have made 3 Sweet 16's since the last time he coached in college.

What are you talking about. He was an assistant at UK and coached UF. He was a pioneer in nil before there was nil.

I'm not sure how the timing works for Donovan tho. Does he just resign? Doesnt that cost him a ton of money he is already guranteed? If he waits till season ends and is fired, isnt that WAY too late? You will miss the entire portal and a huge amount of recruiting.

 

[JeffCuse]

Wonder if Grant McCasland?

 

[hoopsupstate]

I think it’s going to be Donovan. He has already met with several former Carolina players. He’s not up to another rebuild in Chicago.

I still dont get the timing. Does he resign and walk away from his contract? Does he negotiate an early "firing" where they eat less?
