North Carolina coach Hubert Davis plans to hire general manager and expand staff for college basketball changes

North Carolina men's basketball coach Hubert Davis plans to hire a general manager and expand support staff to adapt to changes in college sports, including player endorsements and the transfer portal. Davis acknowledged that the traditional coaching model is no longer sufficient. He aims to build a more comprehensive staff to handle various responsibilities, allowing coaches to focus on basketball. This shift comes as the Tar Heels face challenges, including the risk of missing the NCAA Tournament for the second time in three years. Davis's approach reflects a broader trend in college athletics toward professional-style management.
