North Carolina coach Hubert Davis has another two years on his deal and a new general manager to help the men's basketball program deal with the changing landscape of college athletics. Davis has signed a two-year extension running through the 2029-30 season to lead his alma mater.

The 54-year-old Davis played for the Tar Heels under late Hall of Famer Dean Smith and spent a dozen years playing in the NBA. He later left an ESPN broadcasting job to work as an assistant to another Hall of Famer in Roy Williams in 2012, then took over as head coach in 2021 when Williams retired.

UNC's hiring of a respected NBA agent is a sign the Tar Heels are serious about their general manager position
