Eric Montross was a teammate of current UNC head coach Hubert Davis during the 1990-91 and 1991-92 seasons, which Davis referenced in his own statement. “I am devastated,” he said. “Eric was my friend. He was my teammate. Eric loved being a husband. He loved being a dad. He loved being a Tar Heel and he loved Carolina basketball. I miss him.” (Chapelboro.com)
