CHAPEL HILL – To continue its storied men's basketball tradition, The University of North Carolina is turning to a Tar Heel who has propelled that success both on the court and from the bench.
Hubert Davis, who helped lead the Tar Heels to the 1991 Final Four as a sharpshooting guard, and to two Final Fours and a national title during nine years as a UNC assistant coach, has been named Carolina's new men's head basketball coach. Chancellor Kevin Guskiewicz and Director of Athletics Bubba Cunningham interviewed a diverse array of candidates from coast to coast, with input from dozens of men's basketball alumni and senior Department of Athletics officials.
