North Carolina Extends Hubert Davis' Contract, Adds Jim Tanner as General Manager

The Tar Heels commit to Hubert Davis through 2030 despite mixed results, while hiring Jim Tanner to reshape the program's roster strategy.

Hubert Davis has signed a two-year contract extension with North Carolina, extending his tenure through the 2029-30 season, with an average annual salary of $3.2 million.
The new contract significantly increases Davis' base salary and includes performance-based bonuses, while tripling the buyout cost if UNC decides to part ways with him.
Jim Tanner, a basketball agent and UNC alumnus, has been hired as the program's first general manager to assist with roster construction, transfer portal navigation, and analytics staffing.
Davis' tenure has been marked by dramatic swings, including a run to the NCAA title game in his first season and the Tar Heels becoming the first preseason No. 1 team to miss the tournament in his second year.
The Tar Heels, currently on a four-game winning streak, remain on the NCAA tournament bubble with critical upcoming games against Miami, Virginia Tech, and Duke.
