Yeah, things evidently were that bad with Doherty. I had been in his corner, hoped he'd be given another year to turn things around, but some things are coming to light since the axe fell that lead me to believe that he truly does have an abusive personality... not just a matter of "whining" players. If everyone stays at UNC, we'll easily be Top 20 next year, maybe better. But they all wouldn't have stayed with Doh.

Our AD, of course, has managed to p*** off not one, but two of the greatest fan bases in college basketball. I'm sure Roy's made up his mind, but he's not saying. I truly think it's a 50/50 call whether Roy's in Lawrence or Chapel Hill next year. He's in love with both places, of that I'm convinced, and vice versa. I don't have any idea how money-driven Roy is, but let's just say he's in a strong negotiating position

Best of luck in the Final Four. I'll be pulling hard for KU, as will most over here. The connection between our two schools is amazing (Dean played for Phog; Larry Brown and Roy played for Dean), and that won't change no matter what the outcome of the coaching situation is.

I guess we'll see in the week ahead.

Thanks for your well wishes. We always pull for you, as well. That may change, however, if Roy leaves..... :0)

I heard that Larry Brown pretty much agreed to coach Carolina verbally and sign a 5 year deal.

In some bizarre way I think this Carolina situation is taking the edge off the players becuase they know how ridiculous the idea sounds of Roy leaving a Kansas Team with 5 sophmores coming back (and possibly a national title)

You win. Roy's in the air on his way to NC according to local reports. Just left the team locker room in tears.

Sentiment here...fine, take him. EVERYONE here is sick of this drama. I'm afraid that the good feelings between the two programs may be gone along with him. I guess we'll see, but when he wasn't willing to make it clear he was a "Kansas Guy" as the team was going into what could have been one of the greatest weeks in the history of the program...he really ticked a lot of people off.

I guess it's all your gain. Congratulations.
