You don't just forget how to coach

and literally the examples you point out from today are 100% tied to ability and thus NIL. The better players are more athletic and able to get open for an inbound pass and scoring the basketball is about ability. We lack both. MY can't will the ball in the basket with coaching. Is he Coach K, absolutely not, but those guys are few and far between. If he starts to underachieve with some talent then maybe you have a point but right now that isn't the case. The game is different than 3 years ago. If he is unwilling or unable to adapt to the new NIL world I agree it is time to move on but there is no evidence of that yet. He is effectively the trying to compete against the Yankees with the Rays payroll. Wofford making the tournament 5 years after Young left is about as relevant to the argument as the fact UNCW is in the tournament. Wofford is in because they won a conference that also has very little NIL money.

We don't have top notch players to compete. It takes money now

Sorry, you aren't really making a good case.

Throwing $ at the situation does not make MY a better coach
