Tar Heels’ Davis gets 2-year extension through 2030, hires agent Jim Tanner as GM

Associated Press  

North Carolina coach Hubert Davis has signed a two-year extension running through the 2029-30 season, and hired basketball agent Jim Tanner as the men’s basketball program’s executive director and general manager. Tanner’s hiring follows through on Davis’ plan to update the infrastructure of the program, with this move bringing on a UNC alumnus who has represented more than 70 NBA players in a 28-year career. “Jim’s experience and knowledge is needed in helping us navigate contracts, the transfer portal and the advancement of this program,” Davis said in a statement. “His resumé speaks for itself and his commitment to this university and community make him a great addition to the Carolina men’s basketball program.” Tanner, a 1990 graduate and former Morehead-Cain Scholar at UNC, has represented 40 NBA first-round draft picks and six inductees into the Naismith Hall of Fame: former UNC star Vince Carter, Ray Allen, Tamika Catchings, Tim Duncan, Grant Hill and Dominique Wilkins.
