Pitt's Capel gets another chance to coach against UNC's Davis, whom he used to emulate

Posted Feb 1, 2023
The relationship between Pitt coach Jeff Capel and North Carolina’s Hubert Davis, whose teams meet Wednesday night at the Smith Center in Chapel Hill, stretches back to the 1990s in Capel’s backyard in Fayetteville, N.C. Only Davis might not be aware of the origin. In those days, Davis was a star at North Carolina and Capel a standout high school player. (TribLive.com)
