Posted May 21, 2024
Hubert Davis just turned 54. How does he compare? Hubert has been UNC's head coach for three years and has an 78-31 record and ACC mark of 43-17. When Roy Williams turned 54, he had finished his first season at UNC as a head coach. Dean Smith turned 54 in February of 1985 and went on to win his fourth straight ACC regular-season championship.
