The arguments about NCAA issues in the Chip threads are baffling. They are all premised on Butch not being considered or negatively considered by the BoT because of NCAA issues at UNC. While that is thrown around these boards a ton, I've never seen anything solid to substantiate its truth. Before the resent discussions, it was more generally accepted that Butch was not wanted back because some folks were still angry with how he left. While neither of these issues help Butch, the smoke suggests that they don't disqualify him at all. He's being looked at as a plan B or C. It seems that some folks believe Chip is a better potential hire than Butch and so Butch would be losing out on the merits rather than some disqualifying technicality. Butch is relatively high on my list, but let's keep in mind that he has never been a great game day coach, has been unemployed for a few years, and that numerous schools that are not smarting from his departure or recent NCAA scandals have hired coaches without so much as glancing in his direction. To suggest we won't hire Chip because of some NCAA issue is pretty outlandish.
