Overview
- The program, which announced a leadership change Tuesday, said it will honor Davis’ contract with about $5.312 million owed.
- The decision followed the 19-point blown lead to 11-seed VCU and a second straight first-round exit that heightened booster pressure.
- Davis told players he was out and later said he wanted to keep the job and plans to coach again soon.
- UNC launched a broad search that includes top college and NBA names, and Brad Stevens has already withdrawn from consideration, according to CBS Sports.
- Money and timing now drive options, with reported buyouts such as Florida’s Todd Golden at $16 million, Arizona’s Tommy Lloyd at $11 million, Alabama’s Nate Oats at $10 million on April 1, Michigan’s Dusty May at $7.5 million, and Iowa State’s T.J. Otzelberger at $4 million as the transfer portal opens April 7.
