We begin a brand new hour of Get Up this morning and it is a delightful little moment on the

0:35.3

sports calendar. We're heading towards the draft. I got a great

0:38.3

football squad ready. Today we got the NBA playoffs around the corner. I got a great basketball squad today.

0:43.3

Baseball starts tonight. And Jessica Mendoza is here. We watched Tiger last night.

0:48.3

We're two weeks from the Masters and all of that. And in the midst of all of this,

1:42.2

Do you think Carolina handling this the right way with Hubert Davis? What's your takeaway first before we get to the replacement? Greedy, they have a right to let him go. I mean, you're North Carolina. The standard is the standard. You don't advance in the NCAA tournament three or five years. One of those years you don't make the tournament. I have no problem with that, but there are two caveats. Real simple. Number one, it's not letting him go, but how you let him go. They shouldn't have left him hanging out for the last week.
