Hubert Davis, Carolina’s new assistant basketball coach, was a 3-point shooting star as a Tar Heel player from 1989-92.

Davis remains the most accurate 3-point shooter in UNC history with a .435 percentage on 197 of 453 attempts. Davis was always greeted by Carolina fans with the cheer, “Huuuuubert!”
