Hubert Davis: 'Wow!' And 'Why?'

Posted May 3, 2012
The timing is set up perfectly for Hubert Davis to become the next head coach of the Tar Heels if he succeeds as an assistant. Roy Williams, who will be 62 in August, is under contract at least through 2018. When Dean Smith retired in 1997 at 66, Williams was the logical long-term successor although it took six years for ol’ Roy to get here. Right now, he has no logical successor. (Chapelboro.com)
