UNC Parts Ways with Hubert Davis, Coaching Search On

0:00On March 25, North Carolina has parted ways with head basketball coach Hubert Davis after four seasons. The Tar Heels made the move following a first round NCAA tournament loss to VCU, the number 11 seed, by a score of 82 to 78 A's, the number 6 seed. Davis compiled a 125 win, 54 loss record over 179 games, including a national title game appearance, early in his tenure. The program now kicks off a high-stakes search for replacement, with immediate pressure to restore the Tar Heels to championship contention at one, of college basketball's bluest blood programs. Names already surfacing include Chicago Bulls Coach, Billy Donovan, a two-time national champion eager to possibly return to college ranks, and Iowa. It's TJ Ozzelberger, seen as a rising star in the coaching world. While by-out costs, likely rule out Florida's Todd Golden and Alabama's Nate Oats, all eyes stay glued to Chapel Hill as this powerhouse builds toward its next era.
