Chapel Hill, N.C. — The University of North Carolina has ended its partnership with men’s basketball coach Hubert Davis following five seasons at the helm of the storied program, according to an announcement released early Thursday.
Athletic department officials offered no immediate details on the decision or on potential successors, but the move marks a swift conclusion to Davis’s tenure in charge of the Tar Heels. The 54-year-old former UNC standout and longtime assistant took over the program ahead of the 2021-22 campaign, becoming only the program’s third head coach since 1961.
Davis guided North Carolina to a national championship game appearance in his first season and recorded four NCAA Tournament berths during his five years. His overall record and conference mark were not specified in the university’s brief statement.
A national search for the next head coach will begin immediately, officials said.
