Profile of a Possible Savior: UNC-Asheville’s Nick McDevitt

Nick McDevitt is the 37-year-old head coach at UNC-Asheville who just completed his fourth season.

Important Questions, In Rough Order Of Importance:

1. Has he coached teams that have won a national title, made multiple deep NCAA tournament runs, and/or consistently been highly ranked?

No. Nick McDevitt has up to this point been a UNC-Asheville lifer: he played there, then went straight into coaching on Eddie Biedenbach’s staff after graduating in 2001. He has never coached anywhere else, and while Asheville has made a handful of NCAA appearances over that time, the Bulldogs have never been seeded higher than No.
