Hubert Davis suggests that rotation for ‘downshifting’ Tar Heels is set

Posted Jan 3, 2022
The way Notre Dame coach Mike Brey sees it, UNC basketball has “downshifted” under coach Hubert Davis. When Brey's Irish host the Tar Heels on Wednesday, Brey won’t see the traditional double low-post offense coached by Dean Smith, Bill Guthridge, and Roy Williams. When Brey takes one of the big men away from the post, he calls it downshifting. (Tar Heel Tribune)
