On Monday, 247Sports.com released their top 25 college basketball coaches list for the upcoming 2022-23 season. Listed in the top ten were names that you would expect: Mark Few, Bill Self, John Calipari, and Scott Drew all made the cut. However, there was one name that was a bit surprising to see, and that name was Hubert Davis.
247Sports listed Davis as the ninth-best college basketball coach in the country. In just his first year as head coach, Davis led the Heels to the Final Four where they beat Duke in Coach K’s final game, but lost to Kansas in the national championship game.
