Former North Carolina Tar Heels’ guard Marcus Paige joined Hubert Davis’ staff last season, working as director of team and player development. He did that after spending four seasons as a player and having a career overseas.

Now, Paige is earning a promotion.

With North Carolina releasing their official roster for the 2024-25 season, they also announced a promotion. Paige has moved from director of team and player development to assistant coach.

With Davis’ staff expanding due to the promotion, all of the assistants are now former UNC players with Brad Frederick, Jeff Lebo, Sean May, and Pat Sullivan.

Paige spent four seasons at North Carolina, putting together an impressive career. He helped lead the Tar Heels to a spot in the national championship game, tying it up against Villanova in the final seconds.

With Paige on staff, it helps the players relate to being a member of this program as he, along with others have gone through it. It also helps him improve his coaching career, taking steps forward.

We can certainly see Paige getting a head coaching job down the line, working his way up the ladder in this game.
