We’ve not yet reached 24 hours since Hubert Davis was fired as the head coach of North Carolina basketball. Yet it’s already become increasingly clear who is at the top of UNC’s wishlist as his replacement. The names include some of the top young coaches in the sport: Michigan’s Dusty May, Arizona’s Tommy Lloyd, and Iowa State’s TJ Otzelberger.
However, multiple reporters have landed on two-time national champion Billy Donovan as the top candidate in Chapel Hill. There is speculation that the current head coach of the Bulls, who hasn’t coached in the college game in 11 years, would be interested in a return and may be stepping down from his post in Chicago.
