👉 North Carolina's failure to land a top-tier coaching target 👉 The NIL era has changed the college basketball landscape 👉 Winning tradition, brand recognition, and top-tier facilities are no longer enough to attract top talent 👉 Michael Malone, an NBA coach with no college experience, is the new coach at North Carolina 👉 Malone's hire is seen as a risk, but may pay off if he can surround himself with an experienced staff and learn the nuances of the college game
