Hubert Davis has always steered away from profane language. During his time playing under legendary basketball coach Dean Smith at UNC, he discovered that if any of his teammates cursed, the entire team would pay a price. "Yeah, if Coach Smith heard profanity, everybody would run sprints," Davis said Tuesday at ACC Tipoff. "My policy is the same." (Tar Heel Tribune)
