Michael Malone has been appointed as the new head coach at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, replacing John Blackwood, who was previously criticized for being outside of the "Carolina Family" during the search for a new coach. Former players, including Shammond Williams and former coach Roy Williams, have expressed their admiration for Malone, stating that he trusts the university more than his daughter, a rising sophomore volleyball player. The transfer portal is already underway and expectations for the new coach are high.
