The Entire North Carolina Tar Heels Family Set to Celebrate Head Coach Hubert Davis as Netflix Premieres Long-Awaited Documentary
Titled: A Blue‑Blood Legacy Reclaimed
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — A wave of pride and anticipation is sweeping across Tar Heel Nation as the entire University of North Carolina community prepares to celebrate their beloved head coach, Hubert Davis. Netflix is set to premiere the highly anticipated documentary A Blue-Blood Legacy Reclaimed, a powerful tribute to Davis’ extraordinary life, coaching journey, and the unshakable foundation he’s restored within the storied basketball program.
The premiere marks more than just a media event—it’s a milestone moment for a university and fan base that holds its basketball heritage close to the heart. Current and former players, coaching staff, alumni, and students will gather at a special screening hosted on campus this weekend, where the emotion and unity of the Carolina family will be on full display.
Davis, a former Tar Heel star under Dean Smith and a long-tenured NBA sharpshooter, returned to Chapel Hill to become the program’s first African American head coach in 2021. Since then, he has not only led the Tar Heels to a national championship game appearance in his first year but also reignited the pride and tenacity synonymous with UNC basketball.
“A Blue-Blood Legacy Reclaimed” dives deep into Davis’ path—from growing up in Virginia to the pressure and privilege of inheriting a program defined by legends. With never-before-seen behind-the-scenes footage and heartfelt interviews with former teammates, coaches, and family members, the documentary paints a vivid portrait of a man driven by faith, family, and an unyielding commitment to excellence.
“This is a celebration of more than basketball,” said UNC Athletic Director Bubba Cunningham. “It’s about resilience, culture, and the heart of a leader who reminds us what Carolina basketball stands for.”
Fans across the globe will be able to stream the film starting Friday night on Netflix, while in Chapel Hill, a red carpet-style event at the Dean E. Smith Center will bring together generations of the Carolina family.
From his underdog playing days to his poised leadership in the face of modern collegiate pressures, Davis’ story is one of perseverance, passion, and purpose. The documentary captures the essence of a coach who has not only honored the legacy of Smith and Williams—but has begun to carve a defining chapter of his own.
As the spotlight shines, the message is clear: Hubert Davis isn’t just leading a team—he’s stewarding a legacy, unbroken and reborn.
