Bacot says Davis just as fiery as Williams but he welcomes the new offensive approach

Posted Oct 13, 2021
Armando Bacot said last season that Coach Roy Williams was harder on him than anybody. Hubert Davis quickly dispelled any notion that it would get easier under his leadership. "It’s about the same,” Bacot said. "Coach Davis, he’s just as intense, surprisingly. He seemed like such a nice guy. But he’s just as intense as Coach Williams, if not more." (Tar Heel Tribune)
