UNC head coach Hubert Davis nominated for awards

UNC basketball head coach Hubert Davis has turned this program from a bubble team to the Sweet 16 and now he’s being honored.

In his first year as head coach at UNC, Hubert Davis took his team off the bubble and has them in the Sweet 16. In mid-February, things looked bleak for the Tar Heels program as they were on that bubble but since then, the team has found their stride and Davis is a big reason why.

Now, just a few days before the Sweet 16 matchup with UCLA, Davis is being honored with nominations on two national coaching awards. Davis was nominated for the 2022 Skip Prosser Man of the Year Award and the 2022 Joe B. Hall Award.

The Skip Prosser Man of the Year Award is given annually to those who not only achieve success on the basketball court but who display moral integrity off the floor. The Joe B. Hall Award is also handed out annually to the top first year coach in Division I college basketball:

Davis does fit the mold for both awards. Not only has he proven to be a good coach on the court but he is a great man off the court as evident by comments from current and former players.

Let’s hope Davis can add some accolades in his first year at North Carolina.
