When players see one thing and coaches see another, UNC’s defense suffers
Posted Jan 17, 2026
"They ran the same play, pretty much every time down the court," Caleb Wilson said after UNC's loss to Stanford. When a reporter relayed Wilson’s remarks to coach Hubert Davis, Davis said he couldn’t address comments he hadn’t heard in full context. He did, however, challenge the idea that Stanford’s offense was thriving simply by running the same play.
