A lack of leadership and accountability may have been another culprit for the Tar Heels’ downfall. The team certainly didn’t play well, but the coaching didn’t help either, according to The Athletic.
Another person close to one of the UNC players claimed, “I would say there was probably like, 5 percent out of 100 of accountability, in and out of practice and games. There was barely any,” per The Athletic.“The blame is definitely not all on (Hubert Davis), but as the head coach, you get the credit when you win and the blame when you lose. It’s a combination of him, his staff, and the players, and the leadership — or lack thereof — that was seen for 30 games.”
