"And that's when I knew I was back in North Carolina - a state where basketball is important."

Levo needs to be careful, his inner jack-ass is showing through.

Kinda interesting to think...Levo's biggest "knock" as a coach is that he has never made the NCAA tournament...taking a job at a school that has only been twice since turning DI almost 50 years ago is definitely a risk.

Number of NCAA appearances by school (last trip):
TTU 2 (1963)
Chattanooga 10 (2009)
Auburn 8 (2003)
ECU 2
(1993)
