The North Carolina Tar Heels made a hire for head coach today and they chose a New York Knicks teammate of Patrick Ewing, head coach of the Georgetown Hoyas.
Hubert Davis played for Dean Smith, and that’s like shaking Frank Sinatra’s hand. He coached under Roy Williams, who endorsed him. Davis' UNC roots aren't the only reason he got the job, but it’s what he had on his side more than any other candidate.https://t.co/jo8XDwrN46

From 1992 until 1996 Ewing and Hubert Davis both played for the Knicks.
