Of course he's not pursuing other jobs right now. He is trying to win a national title.

I think no matter the outcome tonight this could reopen regardless of the Donovan stuff. Worst case is he uses it for a new contract at Michigan

meh you put his name with UNC basketball/branding and you likely have the attention of most elite basketball prospects and they have the financial backing to get them.

I know Billy hasn't had great success in the pros but lasting 10 years as a HC in a league that burns through them isn't nothing either.

Why would a pro coach want the mess of NIL and portal if money is the same?

might not be a pro coach much longer, get a high paying job with an elite basketball school that will eliminate some of the NIL headaches

constant roster attrition isn't as big of an adjustment for the basketball coaches as it's been for football.

I don't know if he will be considered for other nba gigs.

Unc brand and nil should get him a roster that can compete, which is more than he's had with the Bulls.

UNC will dump tons of money into NIL basketball. Shouldn't be a concern.


No they won't
