UNC Basketball History: The man before the fun fact

With the coaching change all over the new lately, there’s a stat going around that you’ve probably seen several times recently. When UNC takes the floor next season, Hubert Davis will be just the sixth North Carolina Tar Heels’ men’s basketball head coach since 1952.

It’s a fairly remarkable fact for a school and fan base that has such a high bar for success. It’s even more remarkable considering that two of the coaches in that six each only lasted three years each.

That group of six starts with Frank McGuire, who was hired ahead of the 1952-53 season.
