message: The intro needs a major re-working, especially the first line, "The University of North Carolina's basketball program is one of the more famous college teams in the nation". Agreed? Orlière 01:58, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, that's a comma. It says, "The University of North Carolina's basketball program is one of the more famous college teams in the nation, and is especially well known for its rivalry with Duke University, one of the most intense rivalries in sports." However, that isn't exactly top notch either. If you feel you can improve it, go ahead and edit it - all changes don't have to be brought up in the talk page first. --NomaderTalk 02:35, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

message: I can help you out Nomader with working on content for here.  I also live in the Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill area, so I can volunteer to take photos of UNC, the Smith Center, etc if we can't find good public domain ones. -- Daveahern 04:06, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Right now, there are two pictures currently on Wikipedia, both of which can be seen at the UNC-Duke Rivalry page. Good pictures, but I guess a couple more wouldn't hurt... on another note, do you happen to know what the overall ranking is for UNC all-time? I can't find it... --NomaderTalk 04:24, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I did some research through media guides and started putting together the team history section, along with some stats for the team.  According to the UNC media guide, they've won 1883 games all time (through the end of 2006 season) - second to Kentucky. -- Daveahern 18:35, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Good work - I'll be adding some templates here and there with some pictures if I can conjure up any. In the meantime, keep up the good work! --NomaderTalk 21:55, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

message: Any discussion of UNC's championships means we have to bring out the Helms Award.  Does the awarding of the Helms "championship" by UNC's 1924 team (an award based on a poll that was given out in 1936) qualify UNC's 1924 team as a National Championship team?  UNC claims it as one.  I would argue with that. -- Daveahern 16:54, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I think that it should be listed as a seperate thing entirely, though recognized as a 'national championship', just not in the normal sense. --NomaderTalk 21:13, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

message: It seems to me that Hansbrough's number shouldn't appear in the retired jersey list as it hasn't actually been retired yet. His winning of the Sporting News Player of the Year Award means he's eligible to have his jersey retired. But it won't actually happen until the season after he leaves the university. I think the mention of his eligibility to have his jersey retired in the article is appropriate enough for now.Ncjon (talk) 20:17, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Hansbrough's "retired" jersey

message: I was just looking at the seasons for the Men's basketball team and hardly any of the seasons have links on wikipedia. So maybe we could start making the wiki pages for the missing seasons so we can be the first university to have all seasons correctly and completely filled out. I've been trying to do it, but I can't ever get determined enough to do it. I always use the media guide that UNC releases each year before the new basketball season starts. In there it has all the previous seasons as early as 1953. It says to go to Tarheelblue.com for the one's earlier than that, I did go there and they weren't there. I was just wanting some help from you guys if you are up to it. ThurstAsh13 (talk) 04:26, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

message: I'm thinking of reorganizing this page to try to get it to FA status and I was going to use the Chicago Bears article as a template.  Any thoughts? Remember (talk) 19:41, 24 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: For such a prestigious program that UNC has they hardly have any information on the program through the years. I mean like the Kansas Jayhawks men's basketball page has some information on their team through the years. That is the one thing that this article is really lacking in itself. I mean we cover the big points but nothing sort of minor but needed. Our paragraphs about the decades are sort of just statistics in a way I know there is information out there on this stuff, but I can't find any of it; and truly I am a terrible writer. So Remember you said you wanted this to become a FA article we need more information in the team history section. It skips so many years, from the first few years that the program began in and then to Frank McGuire. This part needs attention more than anything I think.

message: I've reverted the following edits:
* 
* 
A few reasons, but mostly because I believe they run afoul of WP:CRYSTAL and WP:NOTNEWS. They reference the current NCAA investigation into the latest UNC academic scandal, but we won't have any development until at least fall this year. We don't know if the basketball program is implicated and we certainly don't know if it will face sanctions. The way it is written, "could be in jeopardy" gives us a double layer of uncertainty, and is inherently unverifiable. Remember there is no deadline at Wikipedia so we don't have to rush to get this information in - we can wait until we actually have something verifiable to include. At this point, it's speculation that can't be verified.
Now, I think it's worth mentioning that basketball players have been found to take these sham courses, perhaps Rashad McCants' allegations and Roy Williams' denials, but talking about the possibility of losing titles before it's even discussed is premature. 
Also, please don't copy and paste text from the source - the second edit is lifted directly from the CNN source, and is considered WP:COPYVIO. Finally, a minor issue, but please remember to use the proper inline citation format instead of simply pasting the URL. Thanks. Mosmof (talk) 04:21, 3 June 2015 (UTC)

message: Per the cited source at North_Carolina_Tar_Heels_men%27s_basketball#Retired_numbers and even the most recent media guides (e.g. 2020–21 p. 84), the Helms Foundation POY is not mentioned as a criteria, but it appears that it was the only POY that Lennie Rosenbluth, George Glamack, James Worthy and Jack Cobb won.  Back in the 2002–03 media guide p. 4, it said "Today, a player must be the consensus National Player of the Year to have his jersey retired. That is policy established by the University’s Athletics Council." No idea if that's really the case. No other source seems to say that, though the last player to have their number retired, Tyler Hansbrough, was a consensus POY.—Bagumba (talk) 20:01, 4 December 2020 (UTC)
