Lucas: Basketball Practice Notebook

By Adam Lucas

The head coaching personality of Hubert Davis continues to take shape over the last two weeks. The Tar Heels had their first fall practice on Sept. 28, and have been on a regular in-season practice schedule since then.

A Davis-led practice begins with player-selected music during pre-practice shooting and stretching and is very high energy. The head coach accepts absolutely zero short cuts. As players have consistently said, Davis is a player's coach. That sometimes carries a connotation of being willing to accept less than maximum effort.
