Hatchell in trouble?

[PackMan97]

Out of curiosity, I looked up how the 2020 recruiting class is shaking out. Sylvia has two early commits in the top 25 already. With this news, will Loyal stay loyal?

(Next year's class, as with Duke, you have to look outside the top 55 to find the first commit.)

2020 is still early and no one has signed anything...so let's hope not.

NC State has two top 30 recruits for 2019...so can we talk about 2019 please

The cheaters have two Top 75 players in the 2019 class and that's about it.

[UrinalCake]

Done. Nice catch. Almost let that line go to waist.

That would have caused us all to go belly up.

Focused on the 2020 class because that's the next recruiting cycle that matters, 2019 is basically in the books. And seeing that Carolina does have two early recruits signed is a good indicator that they would have one of their most successful classes in years.
But...now they have to put the breaks on any and all recruiting, knowing that the two commits and and other potential recruits are reading the news. (Which is now on a national level, it has been headline fodder on multiple news sites I visit.)

As you refer to in the second part, those verbal commits can easily leave as they haven't signed anything yet. I would expect they are already getting feelers from other schools.

Maybe from P. "I got through my investigation, come to Cameron."

Of course Hatchell is not in trouble. UNC is investigating itself. Haven't we already seen this movie?

[CamrnCrz1974]

Players say UNC women's basketball coach used a racially insensitive remark and complain of lack of quality coaching. @joelbrown reports on the suspension of Sylvia Hatchell and her staff - live at 11.

wow...that seems totally seems like the kind of person I imagine her to be might say.

Also ironic given the lack of quality coaching coming out of UNC...

[duke2x]

The quality coaching has been a problem for years, meaning only the former is driving the investigation. I think UNC is going to be all too ready to make a change given her record the past 5 years.

Is it too late to use her wardrobe as grounds for dismissal?

[chrishoke]

Anyone know what it will cost UNC to fire her?

When you can win a national championship in pajamas, I imagine the outside law firm will not recommend that as a basis for dismissal.

Players should certainly complain if there were comments related to race, but is Steve Daniels trying to tell us that recruits didn't know what kind of coach she was before they signed their letters of intent?

That just shows you why people need to get their news from DBR.

That suit sailed a decade or more ago.

Third, there is this canard that UNC is a sleeping giant in football. I think that's wrong. If there is a sport that both Duke and UNC are sleeping giants in, it's women's basketball. The moderators can feel free to edit but I think both schools would benefit from new leadership for their women's basketball programs.

Duke's not a sleeping giant. It's a fallen power that can be restored with the proper leadership.

But I wonder about two things...Third, there is this canard that UNC is a sleeping giant in football. I think that's wrong.

3 things. Don't you actually have to be a giant first? They are more of a tallest midget historically. That goes for WBB as well.

Geno says "The majority of coaches in America are afraid of their players." I know I'll probably get scolded for this "get off my lawn" comment, but god forbid we get into a war that requires us to reinstate the draft. God bless our (volunteer) military.

Sounds like a bunch of whining from Geno to me. Complaining that players have the ability transfer if they don't like the coaching they're getting? What a ridiculous complaint.

I missed the part where he complained about the ability. As opposed to certain women's basketball coaches in the triangle area, Geno has been plenty respectful of players who have transferred from his program.

For people who are too lazy to read the article, here's the actual quote:

People gave [Michigan State men's coach] Tom Izzo a lot of grief for something he did on the sideline. His players loved that. He doesn't have to care what you think of it. He just has to care what his players think of it. If his players all transferred, if his players all quit on him, then he went over the line. If his players play really hard for him, they keep winning, they love him, they keep coming back to the program, then that's passion

Most of the context was him complaining that other COACHES are too soft because they're afraid of what the media will think, when all that matters is whether your players respond. That's why Izzo was not over the line, despite media outrage...because his players responded and DIDN'T give up. A good coach knows where that line is.

Apparently guys like geno and Izzo do, and hatchell and McCallie don't.
