### A Coach, a Leader, a Proud Dad
Hubert Davis, who took the helm of the UNC men’s basketball program in 2021, has become a fan favorite not only for his on-court leadership but also for his integrity, warmth, and deep commitment to family. This latest personal milestone reinforces that image.
The birth of the twins marks an especially joyful chapter for the Davises, who already have three children and have been married for over two decades. Known for keeping a strong work-life balance, Coach Davis has often spoken about how his family inspires him as a coach and leader.
In a previous interview, Davis noted:
> “Everything I do is rooted in my faith and my family. I want our players to succeed not just on the court, but as men, fathers, and husbands one day.”
### Inside the Dean Dome: Joyful Vibes and Baby Talk
At the Dean E. Smith Center, the mood was lighter than usual during Friday’s open practice. Players and staff wore custom shirts that read “Team Davis – Double the Joy” and presented the coach with a miniature UNC jersey for each twin, marked “Baby Heel #1” and “Baby Heel #2.”
Sophomore point guard Jaylen Reese said with a laugh,
> “Coach is already talking about recruiting the twins for the class of 2043!”
Assistant coach and Tar Heel legend James Worthy, recently appointed as Senior Coach, added:
> “Moments like these remind us that basketball is just one part of life. The love and energy around this team is special—and now it’s even bigger by two.”
### Looking Ahead: Family and Focus
Despite the big news, Coach Davis assured fans that his focus on the team remains strong as they gear up for a much-anticipated season. But for now, he and his wife are taking some well-deserved time to settle into their new rhythm as parents of twins.
> “It’s a blessing I can’t describe,” Davis said in a brief media statement. “To be entrusted with not one, but two new lives—it’s humbling, joyful, and a little terrifying. But mostly, it’s love.”
As Carolina Blue skies shine over Chapel Hill, one thing is clear: the Davis family just made Tar Heel Nation a little brighter—and a lot more adorable.
