Former Denver Nuggets head coach Michael Malone is set to become the next head coach of the University of North Carolina, despite being an unexpected choice for the role. Malone, who has not coached in over a year after his firing from the Nuggets, has prior college experience from 25 years ago. He is known for leading the Nuggets to their first championship in 2023 and developing star player Nikola Jokic. He will face challenges with NIL deals, the transfer portal, and recruiting in the rapidly evolving college sports landscape.
