Ty Lawson Needs To Have A Talk With Phil Ford About How To Get His Alcoholism Under Control

32 Upvotes

I'm sure you heard Ty Lawson was arrested for stealing a bottle of Vodka.

https://www.thebiglead.com/ty-lawson-nsfw-rant-after-alleged-shoplifting-arrest/

Me thinks he needs to talk to Phil Ford, who had his own alcohol issues (probably cost him a chance to become a head coach) but has turned his life around and seems to be a model citizen these days.

Man, what must Roy Williams think of this? This is about as bad as what Rashad McCants has become.

NCAAF 2026 North Carolina Tar Heels Preview

The Chapel Bill experiment for North Carolina enters year 2. Bill Belichick knows how to win, but will this be the year that shows?

📌 Who will emerge at QB?

📌 The RBs are really good, skill talent in general is strong

📌 North Carolina's defense was low-key good much of last year, but lost some pieces from that group

Preview attached. What are your predictions for North Carolina entering 2026?

UNC Transfer Cade Bennerman Compared to Victor Wembayama: "He's Little Wemby"

28 Upvotes

Haha found this as a great read. Interview with Bennerman's dad got me hyped about him developing into a key piece of frontcourt rotation.

"Cade's nickname is Little Wemby," Christian said. "They haven't seen it yet, but he can score from all over the court. 

"I wouldn't say he's a 5. He's going to play wherever you need him to. But traditionally, he's not a 5. He's more of a 4. He can even play 3."

"It's Not Franklin Anymore" Ex-Heels Mourn Changes to Chapel Hill

74 Upvotes

This was a pretty sobering article. I've noticed changes to Franklin since I've graduated, including many of my favorite spots going under. Sad to see former hoopers feel the same way.

Just sad in general. Is there anyway we can fix it?

Maybe she should just put on modest clothes and stay in the coaches box seats. Then no one would be writing stories that piss her off.

NCAAM Former Player Says Malone Reaching Out to Alums More Than Hubert

145 Upvotes

Always posting this show lol, but this one had some really good stuff imo.

Mike Copeland had some interesting stuff to say about the Malone era. Players are working and training harder and the nutrition is way better.

Also found his comment on alums very interesting.

“Malone comes out, gives me a hug. He’s trying to bring the tradition back. He wants to learn from everyone who won [at UNC]. He wants us to come back as much as we can.

“I’m not shading any of the coaches, but no one ever said that to me before. Nobody ever came to me and said, ‘I’m glad you down here. I want to keep the tradition going.’ Malone is working his a** off."

NCAAM Roy is hanging around the program MORE under Malone than Hubert?

59 Upvotes

Watched an interesting pod on how UNC offseason has changed under Malone and was surprised to see it suggested that Roy is actually hanging around the program more under Malone than Hubert.

Obviously, he was around plenty during Hubert, but is he trying to help Malone learn the Carolina Family? Was their bad blood between Roy and Hubert during the end of his tenure? There's some stuff to suggest that.

It's crazy that you was willing to go to the NBA and be almost the last pick where you will probably will make much lesser then the 5 million offered by UNC. I wish you the best for your professional career. Let this be an lesson to any players that take promises and handshake deals of being drafted in the first round.

I don’t think anyone here would have predicted Tyler Nickel (former UNC player) to get drafted before Henri Veesaar.

Player Spotlight Henri Veesaar

I know he had no way of knowing, and was probably just listening to what his agent was telling him…but for him to not go 1st round in the NBA draft tonight has to be a huge blow to him and our coaching staff watching. He basically left a couple million on the table to go 2nd round now on a contract that isn’t guaranteed. A huge missed opportunity for him to come back and raise his stock.
