UNC chancellor clears up Hubert Davis rumors with everyone waiting for final decision

Even though the focus has been on the men's basketball team, let's not forget that women are still playing meaningful basketball in Chapel Hill!

While the women's team was taking care of business against Western Illinois in the first round of the NCAA Tournament at Carmichael, some notable shareholders were in attendance to cheer them on.

Of course, UNC Chancellor Lee Roberts couldn't be seen without being asked the important question of the day:

Has a decision been made on Hubert Davis' future?

Brian Murphy of WRAL had the chance to ask Roberts the hottest question in college basketball, one that Roberts gave a pretty expected answer to.

No, there has not been a change at head coach for the UNC basketball program (at this time).

This shouldn't surprise anyone

It's about 24 hours after the complete meltdown against VCU, and the timing is bad given the current circumstances on campus.

While the university won't rush to make a rash decision, you also have to remember that the decision likely won't come this weekend, given the UNC women's basketball program is hosting their NCAA Tournament games.

It would be really disrespectful to take the spotlight away from the Tar Heels, who are still active in the tournament (and can hold a double-digit lead, unlike the men's team). Courtney Banghart's team deserves all the attention in Chapel Hill this weekend for accomplishing hosting in the big dance for the second consecutive season.

Roberts won't tip his hand

Even if a decision has been made (and background work on potential candidates has begun), Roberts isn't going to tip his hand before an official announcement is ready to be finalized.

Unfortunately for Roberts (and his fellow leadership members), he will likely be asked this question many, many times until the university elects to let the world know what is going on.
