Wes Miller was universally praised. Erik Martin was not going to be, he wasn’t even a top assistant for Huggins. Dennis Gates hasn’t proven it long enough for universal praise.

There is a large subset of the UNC fan base who wanted Wes Miller. And he was by all accounts the runner up. That’s a big get for UC. Like Roy Williams is now. Season ticket holder. And even a good chance that UC gets a jordan deal back

Add in that we just got back the best strength coach in the country because of Miller & Cunningham.

I have no idea why you downplayed this. There wasn’t universal fan praise for John Brannen when he was hired. I was a skeptic from day 1 with brannen. I never liked the dude. But Wes has big dick energy like Luke Fickell.

When he breast feeds Kelvin Sampson I’ll accept your apology

erik was was already being praised because he was at one point seen as the favorite.. under every post talking about the search would be "just announce martin" by some uc fan...
there were people who didn't want martin...but there were people who also didn't want miller.. those poster flipped when he was hired, like would have been done with martin.. like was done with branne ps i know u specifically weren't the biggest Brannen fan but you were in the minority and called out by other UC fans who said you had some sorta loyalty to Cronin at that time...

dennis gates is one of the most loved coaches in the entire industry, more than miller...the team that hires him up will be praised as making a homerun hire..
miller was second in the UNC race as UNC only hires UNC tied coaches.. there were like 4 qualified candidates to even chose from .. the UNC point is overstated

there is universal praise for 80% of all college basketball hires especially young up and comers... miller resume is almost identical to Brannen's coming in, wo was praised universally (i can find individual people who didn't like miller to..aka Kenyon martin)
in this very thread i have said miller is the best available option, mainly because the options werent great..
i have a hot take about miller that ill save for later
