Summary

It's Thursday night and we couldn't wait until Friday to get out this episode of the Aaron Torres Podcast! Aaron discusses Roy Williams' shocking retirement, who's next at UNC, as well as Chris Beard's move to Texas. Finally, he previews Saturday's Final Four games. Roy Williams retires + where does UNC go from here: Aaron opens the show by talking the shocking news of Roy Williams' retirement (3:00). He gets into the reasons why Williams decided to step aside, and why this might be a sign of what's to come for other big-name coaches in college basketball and college football (10:00). He also talks about Williams' legacy and why he - weirdly - remains one of the most underappreciated coaches of his era (16:30). From there he talks about who's next at North Carolina and why UNC is an elite job that can get a *lot* of coaches no one else can. He also tells you who he'd call if he was North Carolina and who he actually expects North Carolina to pursue  (24:30). Chris Beard to Texas and a Final Four preview: From there Aaron turns his attention to the other big news in college hoops - Chris Beard leaving Texas Tech for Texas (37:00). He explains why the news was both shocking and not shocking at all, and also why he believes Beard will turn Texas into a college hoops power. Finally, he previews Saturday's two Final Four games and wonders, are we going to get the Baylor-Gonzaga title game we've been waiting all season for (49:30)?
