'It's live action!': North Carolina coach Hubert Davis fired up during national title game interview

North Carolina men's basketball head coach Hubert Davis gave an intense interview during the first half against Kansas in the NCAA Tournament national championship.

TBS reporter Tracy Wolfson did the interview with 7:53 left in the first half.

North Carolina led Kansas 22-18 at the time of the interview.

"We're competing out there," Davis said before being asked a question. "It's live action, Tracy! It's live action out there. I thought we were nervous at the beginning then we started to settle in. We got better defensively. Now, we're attacking the basket. We're ready to go."

Wolfson then asked Davis, "You OK with how (UNC forward Armando) Bacot is right now?"

"He's doing terrific," Davis said. "I'm so proud of him. I told you, 52% him on the floor is good news for Carolina basketball."

TBS broadcaster Jim Nantz could be heard laughing at the end of the interview.

"Hey, it's live action — it's live action," Nantz said after the interview.
