Altman

Texas, Oklahoma, and now UNC all looking for a coach. I wonder how hard of a run they're going to make at Mark Few.

As attractive as the UNC job is, it would also be a pressure cooker. Altman get stay at Oregon and keep doing what he's been doing, winning 20+ games per year, winning conference championships, and doing well in the tournament every year OR go to UNC, have 1-2 years of leeway, and then have them be expected to win championships every year.

Would what Altman has accomplished at Oregon and Creighton even be appreciated at UNC? They'd probably want to fire him for "only" reaching the Elite-8 after a couple years.

Following in the footsteps of Roy Williams and Dean Smith would be tough.

If UNC came calling, I'd listen...I think Altman would be a lock to succeed at UNC. While Oregon has recruited well, UNC always recruits well. If getting a national title is his goal, coaching at UNC would be one of the easiest places to do it.

Whenever Altman's name comes up for a potential opening, if you go to that school's fan sites, you see a lot fans wanting to take a pass and go for other candidates because of the Brandon Austin and Bigby-Williams controversies.

I wonder how much Altman would want to go through that again in the press as part of taking a job at a new location?

Well, you can take the Oklahoma off the board. Filled. Happily.
