UNC Basketball: The story of the first former player to coach the Tar Heels

Currently, the North Carolina Tar Heels men’s basketball team are coached by a former UNC player in Hubert Davis. A distinguished player at the school, he ascended to the position after working for and being mentored by Roy Williams.

While his two years in the job have had mixed results and that may leave you with your own opinions on how he’s doing, it would undoubtedly be very cool if he had a long and distinguished coaching career in Chapel Hill. A former UNC player continuing on the tradition before passing it on to another Tar Heel is a very fun thing to root for.
