Desperation hires rarely work out.

probably the best hire we could’ve gotten at this point we won’t be starting a week late on portal anymore and with way cbb is now nba coaches are probably the move

Dear Henri Veesaar – please go watch all the film of how Mike Malone used Jokic in Denver. And then go head and come back for another year in Chapel Hill https://t.co/ak9jUad91n

Considering how the last 2 weeks have gone I think this is a great hire

Why not? He's an NBA champion and has over a decade of head coaching experience. Our previous coach had zero.

I genuinely have no clue what to think, I’m still in shock honestly

I think this could be a sneaky great hire.
