Seven Contenders Vie to Lead the UN Amid Global Crises

Seven candidates—Ivonne A-Baki, María Fernanda Espinosa Garcés, Rafael Mariano Grossi, Rebeca Grynspan Mayufis, Olara Otunnu, Carolyn Rodrigues Birkett, and Macky Sall—are vying to become the UN’s next secretary-general, with the winner expected to take office on Jan 1, 2027. The selection follows the long-standing process involving nominations, town halls, Security Council straw polls, and a General Assembly vote. Amid calls for a first female leader and adherence to Latin America and the Caribbean regional rotation, experts say the appointee will confront major challenges, including internal reforms, funding shortfalls, climate change, rising AI governance concerns, and escalating geopolitical tensions.

Sixers weigh candidates as they hunt a new basketball ops chief

Bob Myers is guiding day-to-day Sixers basketball operations while the team searches for a new president of basketball operations. Insider chatter has floated several candidates, including Onsi Saleh (Hawks GM) as a top target but interview chances hinge on permission; Vince Rozman, a longtime Sixers executive now focusing on draft work; Neil Olshey, a controversial former Blazers executive; and Jameer Nelson, a rising internal candidate who could be elevated. With Morey out and the 2026 NBA Draft approaching, a hire may take time and more names could surface.

UNC’s Coaching Dilemma: Lloyd, May, or Donovan as Next Head Coach

UNC is weighing three prominent candidates—Arizona's Tommy Lloyd, Michigan's Dusty May, and Chicago Bulls coach Billy Donovan—for its next men’s basketball head coach. Lloyd offers a proven winning track record and UNC ties but comes with a multimillion-dollar buyout and cross-country relocation; May has star-turn credentials from FAU and a Michigan revival, plus a potential UNC connection via Sean May, but his tenure at Michigan is brief and he may seek stability elsewhere; Donovan brings elite college coaching pedigree from Florida, but his NBA tenure hasn’t repeated that success, he’s the oldest option, and timing could clash with UNC’s post-season schedule and the transfer portal window.
