What would Hubert Davis’s ideal role be at UNC in five years?
I am old enough to know time heals all wounds. Coach Davis was not a good basketball coach and his shortcomings and stubbornness there led to him rightly being fired. He’s rightly mad. He is still a Tarheel legend and he made Coach Smith, Guthridge, Coach Williams proud. He fell short of our standards as a basketball team, but he also slayed Duke in the most important rivalry game of all time and sent off a horrible man, after sending him off on his home court a few weeks earlier and brought us Caleb Wilson.
Strengths: connects well with people, likable, competitive, obsessive
Weaknesses: talent evaluation, coaching, player development
Can his ego accept his weaknesses to build on his strengths and come back and compete here in a different role in five years time?
Time away from the family is key. Everyone knows this. What would be his ideal role?
