Still no hire leads me to believe that Wojo may be the leader for our HC.
Kansas and Xaiver have lost and no word on an interview of either assistant.
Observer reported Buzz has not been interviewed. Are we waiting for Dukes season to end?
As much as I want to laugh at the ridiculousness of the idea and say there’s no way in hell that will happen, I also know that ANYTHING can happen, and I’ve seen more far fetched hires made.
I am about 99.99% sure hell would freeze over before Wojo would leave Duke for Charlotte, but I could be wrong.
Keep in mind, just because we haven’t named our hire yet doesn’t mean it’s going to be a coach with a team who’s still playing. It may be someone who was out of the tourney long ago, and we have already made a deal with them, but we are waiting for CHP to get back in the country.
what the hell is so hard to comprehend? Our chacelor (the guy who will agree to the deal) is in China until Thurs, he is not interviewing people on Skype that will make 2x or 3x what he makes…think about it
the Final 4 is a convention for the profession this weekend, I suspect we will finalize our deal there in a hotel suite
tons of resumes have been sent in, and thats confirmed, and many have been told no thanks already
Again, I will defend Judy: the more quiet this is, the better. You keep street cred if you don’t leak a name, because these guys don’t need their existing employer upset. AND…I don’t want any press coverage if a few of our targets turn the offer down and we look like UNCW/idiots.
and regarding this thread, I think there is a real push among some boosters to look at Wojo. I doubt he would come here though, just my .02. Not sure I want him either. He has had to sell the Duke brand…not real hard.

He’s also already landed some good talent at Xavier in his 1 year there. Makes him very appealing IMHO.
Exactly
One vote for Kelsey. Totally agree.
Agreed. As much as I want to know what is going on, it would be horrible to have to go through rejection after rejection publically. Remember Chapel Hill’s search when everybody and their brother turned them down and they had to settle for Doherty? NC State a few years ago got Calapari, Barnes and numerous other coaches raises by bringing them in for an interview before settling on Sidney Lowe.
I hope you are right and the delay is due to Phil being out of town.
But I am starting to get a little nervous that nothing has happened.
Makes me believe something did not go right early on or that we are
looking at someone still associated with the Final Four?
I do hope everything goes over smoothly and that we pick someone and they sign on first time.
I don’t understand why it is so hard to comprehend that nothing is going to happen until Phil gets back.
i was thinking we would at least be trimming a list to 3-4.

Don’t assume that ‘nothing has happened’ just because we haven’t been told any details. Plenty of work has gone on and I think Metro is spot on with his thoughts about the Final Four weekend.
I’d much rather be in the dark than have our program look like St Johns does right now.

Who’s to say we haven’t?
THERE WILL NEVER BE AN OFFICIAL LIST FROM OUR ATHLETIC DEPARTMENT. NOT A SHORT LIST. NOT A WISH LIST.

That’s awesome. Wonder if it was staged though?
Why the Hell is Chapel Hill Phil out of the country anyway!!
Does he not think our HC position is important enough to stay around?
Already been discussed. He is not in China for the hell of it…
Trip planned months in advance. It’s academic so it’s not like he’s on vacation.
ACADEMICS? Where are his priorities?!
sorry but wherever he is, and whatever his is doing, does not have the impact on our University as this hire does
