Tar Heels looking for increased sense of urgency

Posted Jan 22, 2014
When Hubert Davis played at UNC from 1988-92, there was a feeling that he had to work hard — that he couldn’t let down the program, or worse, coach Dean Smith. That’s what Davis, one of the best 3-point shooters in NBA and UNC history, used as motivation. In his second year as an assistant on UNC's staff, Davis has found that he needs to prod his players more than he needed to be prodded. (Daily Tar Heel)
