North Carolina has put discussions about a potential new home arena on hold as the school shifts its attention to finding a new head coach.
In a statement issued Sunday, the school said it is suspending arena-related talks while officials focus on the coaching search following the firing of Hubert Davis.
Program focus shifts to leadership
The pause underscores the immediate priority for the program: stabilizing leadership and moving forward with the hiring process. Any longer-term facility planning will wait as the school concentrates on identifying the next coach to lead the Tar Heels.
