At the end of the day… these are all just portmanteaus… right @DFresh11 ?

Obviously
I was trying to be clever and use AI to give me an example of a portmanteau with Obviously… but AI is still dumb 
A potential portmanteau using “obviously” could be “Obvi-ously,” combining “obvious” with “obviously” to emphasize something is very clear or apparent.

Ask Cory to tell you about “steals + blocks = stocks”. Or don’t, he’ll probably tell you anyway

My gross oversimplification is that when things aren’t going well I think the fans tend to be harder on the coach than the players and advocate for Xs-and-Os or playing time solutions, while the former players tend to be harder on the players than the coach (especially if it’s their former coach), and advocate more for effort and execution solutions.
No real comment here, I just find it interesting.

Thats right. Former players under old portal and no NIL rules rightly have hard time feeling bad for guys making lots of money in college to play, stick the program up the next year, then do what they want anyway and stil get paid

I’d rate Hubert as a C coach, about average. To me college coaching is 90% the stuff we don’t see, the general leadership and culture setting. Seems like he made some probably necessarily style changes when Roy retired but somewhere along the way lost some of the identity UNC had too. And when things have gone badly for them under Hubert, it’s snowballed.
Their problem this year is their frontcourt is ass though. They’ve tried everything and everyone, and just aren’t getting much. The transfer additions have been disappointing. And that partly goes back to losing their identity…when was the last time you saw UNC 246th in offensive rebound percentage?
Hasn’t helped that RJ Davis has dropped off from last year, only shooting 30% from 3. Not saying it’s the case with him, cause how would I know…but I question the motivation of a lot of these 5th year guys. Freshman want to play, sophs start, juniors score, seniors win…what do graduates want?

Sounds like Hubert should have developed Jalen Washington and Zayden High (who isn’t even on the team) better

Yeah, they are playing some very small lineups. Right now their most-played frontcourt on Hoop Explorer is Drake Powell-Ven Lubin, though as you said, they’ve tried a little of everything. Withers low-key disappointing too, probably why they have so much Powell at the 4. The team construction is a little head scratching. Why even bother picking up a bench big from GT to bury him on your bench?
That sweet, sweet Bonchon money without suffering the indignity of having to throw virtual chicken wings into your face on camera.
