The North Carolina Tar Heels announced former NBA head coach Michael Malone as the new head coach in Chapel Hill. This hiring signaled a distinct change in approach.

Malone becomes the first UNC head basketball coach who does not have direct ties to Chapel Hill since Frank McGuire in 1952. Dean Smith took over after a stint as a UNC assistant.

According to On3, North Carolina has seven players either in the transfer portal or expected to enter the transfer portal. Guard Kyan Evans is officially in the portal currently. Zayden High, James Brown, Jonathan Powell, Derek Dixon, Jaydon Young and Isaiah Denis are all expected to enter the portal but haven't yet.
