Reported that UNC is paying MBB coach north of $8 mil/year**
Spider73 • 04/07/26 05:07 PM ET

22k seat arena that fills for almost every game. They can cover it.**

I may be in the minority but I think Malone will do well. He’s a good coach
millmtnhokie • 04/07/26 08:02 PM ET
Agree - this is just minor league pro ball now...Malone will do very well**
vtfin91 • 04/08/26 11:25 AM ET
Yeah, I think he'll be good there.**

He also understands how to manage a paid roster
hoosnowahokie • 04/07/26 08:04 PM ET
And he can flash a ring and say I coached the best player in the world **
millmtnhokie • 04/07/26 08:07 PM ET
