Bubba Cunningham, Steve Newmark Start UNC's Coaching Search
On3 • • sports
Key Points:
- North Carolina's basketball program is beginning the search for a new head coach following Hubert Davis's tenure, with athletic director Bubba Cunningham and executive associate athletic director Steve Newmark leading the effort.
- UNC has hired Turnkey ZRG, a seasoned talent recruitment and executive search firm, to assist in screening candidates and managing the search process.
- The priority is to find a winning coach capable of leading the Tar Heels to national championships, rather than selecting someone from within the program's traditional lineage.
- Newmark will officially take over from Cunningham on July 1, and both will jointly lead the search while consulting experts familiar with college and professional basketball.
- There is no set timeline for announcing the new head coach, as the university emphasizes the importance of selecting the right candidate over speed.
