    Hubert Davis Hired as UNC Head Coach

    Chapel Hill has a new sheriff in town. Former long-tenured coach Roy Williams stepped down after 18 seasons at the school. Williams-led Tar Heels teams won three National Championships: 2005, 2009, and 2017. Now, UNC will see a new leader. But, this new leader is no stranger. Hubert Davis played basketball at UNC for Coach Dean Smith. He also worked as an assistant coach under Roy Williams for 9 seasons.

    Before that, however, the New York Knicks drafted Hubert Davis in 1992. He had a 12-season career in the NBA, playing for various teams. His miraculous 3-point shooting percentage sits as 44.1%. That ranks him 3rd all-time next to Steph Curry and Steph’s coach, Steve Kerr.

    “I’m honored and grateful to be given this opportunity,” Davis stated. “I owe a lot to Coach Dean Smith, Coach Bill Guthridge, and Coach Roy Williams. They have been amazing mentors to me. I’m excited to continue their legacy while adding my own personal touch and style.”

    “Hiring Hubert Davis as the head coach of our men’s basketball program is a fantastic decision,” praised UNC athletic director Bubba Cunningham. “Davis not only guides student-athletes on and off the court, but also serves as an inspiration to his colleagues. He is deeply committed to his family and possesses an unwavering determination to excel. We have witnessed his dedication as a player, broadcaster, and assistant coach, and I am confident that he will lead our student-athletes and program to great success.”
