UNC basketball is sticking with head coach Hubert Davis, who signed a contract extension. Here are the details.

The 54-year-old Davis played for the Tar Heels under late Hall of Famer Dean Smith and spent a dozen years playing in the NBA. He later left an ESPN broadcasting job to work as an assistant to another Hall of Famer in Roy Williams in 2012, then took over as head coach in 2021 when Williams retired.
