@ohio-guy You are spot on regarding delusional. Fans/alums, even at a special place like Chapel Hill, wrongly assume that coaches like May, Billy Donovan, and even @bradstevens 😉 are champing at the bit to come to their schools. Their bias and enchantment cloud their judgment. As for Groce, The College of Charleston is a four minute walk from King Street. He's in his mid 50's and will be paid handsomely to live and relax and drink and eat in one of America's greatest cities. Cliff Ellis did the same for 15 plus years at Coastal Carolina. I suspect he'd have passed on giving up the beach for Winston Salem or God forbid Columbia at that station in his life.
Donovan out in Chicago. If UNC had waited two weeks, they might have got their guy. Buyer's remorse?
@gthomas From what I'm reading it was his decision to leave, so unlikely that he was just struck with that idea in the past two weeks.
@ams66 Although BD probably knew he was gone one way or another, it seems he didn't want to abandon his team during the season. I respect that.
If he does decide he wants to coach college again, he'll have opportunities in the future.

He's in his 60s and has been coasting in the NBA for over a decade now. Hard for me to believe he has the drive for some college job, especially a rebuild of any kind. NBA coaches tend to find other NBA gigs pretty easily.
