Rough half decade for acc hoops.
All coaches with enough money in the bank to never have to put up with NIL bag handling ever again.
In fairness, Jim Boeheim, Mike Krzyzewski, Jim Larranaga and Roy Williams are 80, 77, 75 and 74 respectively.
But I'm sure they won't miss that aspect of the job.
Portal/NIL/pay-for-play was last straw
Meh, I think that's a lazy/convenient way to leave without any scrutiny from fans or media.
The rich get richer and the rest of us will keep fighting for table scraps.
I wonder if the ACC leadership will actually do something when they realize that falling behind in football will make the conference way less competitive in basketball too? Probably not, it's easier to collect a check and deny that things are as bad as they are.
Saw this coming once Jim Boheim retired since I'm still convinced that Jim Laranaga and Jim Boheim are the same person.
One radio report I heard earlier said they fired Larranaga
Yeah. This was weird. Timing alone doesn't make sense. Something was happening behind the scenes.
Funny for the coach who bought a final 4 team and then bought our starting center doesnt like NIL anymore
He bought our center and somebody else bought his team.
