North Carolina hits pause on arena talk amid coach search​

North Carolina is putting talks about the future home for its men's basketball program on hold.

"Arena discussions will resume after the new coach has had time to acclimate to the program and focus on future needs," the school said.

The school is mulling whether to renovate the Smith Center, the program's home since January 1986. It also is considering building a new arena, potentially off the main campus.

The discussions have led to some emotional debate among fans and even members of the program, with retired Hall of Fame coach Roy Williams coming out in support of renovating the Smith Center instead of moving off the main campus.

School officials have estimated a renovation could cost nearly $600 million, while options for a new arena have ranged between roughly $700 million to $800 million.

Just sayin': I put all that squarely on the coach. Apparently he isn't calling TOs at the right time, properly motivating the players, drawing up the right plays for the matchups, and/or having the right 5 players on the court during crunch time.

Finally, a karma loss for Duke to even things out from 1992. When Laettner stomped on a guy’s chest on purpose, got a T but should have been ejected, and then hit the famous buzzer-beater from the top of the key against KY after catching the long pass from Grant Hill.

Not that I have any love for either KY or UConn. But it was the same situation, a win or lose shot in the final second of a game where the winner advanced to the Final Four.

Although the Boozer sons aren’t responsible for what their father, Carlos Boozer, did to the Cavaliers around 2006, they certainly remind me of him and his lying deeds. F Carlos Boozer.

Perhaps. They definitely can, and on paper should. But it's Zona, and they traditionally have found creative ways to choke.

Having lived in AZ for the last 30 I've seen them find miraculous ways to choke. However I believe that Peat is Bibby 2.0. He won 4 state titles in high school and is just a winner like Bibby. I wouldn't put money down but I like their chances. scUM is pretty solid though, they're gonna need to bring their A game and not lean on their two freshmen stars.
