With the program in danger of missing its second NCAA Tournament in three years, North Carolina coach Hubert Davis has made it clear he wants to see his team play with a sense of "emergency" -- a standard he doesn't believe they met in Monday's 85-65 loss to Clemson.

Davis' squad better play with a sense of desperation. If it doesn't, that will raise more questions about his job security.

Davis also receives an annual expense allowance of $50,000 to be used for entertainment and “other appropriate purposes to advance the program,” $500,000 annually as part of North Carolina’s multimedia rights agreement with Learfield Communications and $250,000 per year from the school’s deal with Nike.

The Tar Heels, 13-10 overall and 6-5 in the ACC, are in danger of missing the NCAA tournament for a second time in three seasons.

It has been a rough stretch of games for the North Carolina Tar Heels, but head coach Hubert Davis feels his team may be trending in the right direction.

The loss now moves UNC to 1-10 in Quad 1 games and this season has the same feeling it did back in 2022-23. Barring a miracle run, North Carolina will miss the tournament for the second time in four seasons under Hubert Davis and now the talk about his job security continues to be in the focus.

Davis, on his weekly radio show, stresses need for additional support staff to help him concentrate more on his primary job: coaching the team.

Hubert Davis was in the middle of his first season at North Carolina. The Tar Heels were able to earn a No. 8 seed in the NCAA Tournament that year as an at-large bid, and they took full advantage of the opportunity.
