The NCAA Men’s Basketball landscape changed shape in a big way following coach Roy Williams’ retirement from his lead post at North Carolina. The Tar Heels, despite their early exit from this year’s tournament, are a crucial pillar inside college basketball’s structure. In the aftermath of Williams’ departure, a familiar name popped up on the radar of potential coaching candidates: Rasheed Wallace.
Wallace was placed on a list of former players that are being featured in sports books as likely heirs to Williams’ post at North Carolina. The Raleigh News & Observer highlighted the list of betting odds and pointed to Wallace’s placement in the long-shot category—just below Tyler Hansbrough.
