Jerry Stackhouse 'disappointed' UNC didn't interview him for coaching job

Jerry Stackhouse said he expressed interest in the North Carolina head coaching job that ultimately went to Michael Malone but never received an interview from his alma mater. Stackhouse, now in his second season as an assistant on the Golden State Warriors staff after leaving Vanderbilt, told Jim Rome that UNC informed him it would not interview him to replace Hubert Davis . He said that was especially disappointing given his ties to the program and his résumé as a head coach.

“With what was going on there with Hubert, I think nobody really liked how that went down for him,” Stackhouse said on The Jim Rome Podcast . “Being part of the family and then to not have an opportunity to talk about it, I think that was the most disappointing thing for me. They were like, ‘We’re not going to interview you.

’ I feel like I have a resume that can stand up to anybody. I’ve won Coach of the Year in the SEC, I had a team that finished fourth in the SEC when we weren’t even participating in NIL. I mean, I whooped all their ass.

“So I feel like, just from an Xs and Os standpoint and being able to develop guys – guys that didn’t get all the four-star, five-star guys, but we developed them and they became all-league players. Scotty Pippen’s a pro, Aaron Nesmith is a pro. These are guys that I helped to develop while they were there.
