DES MOINES - Former Drake basketball coach Tom Davis
is retiring from his job as an assistant to the school's athletic
director.
Drake spokesman Mike Mahon confirmed Thursday that Davis would
leave his position. The move comes one month after his son, Keno
Davis, left the Bulldogs to become the head coach at Providence.
The 69-year-old Davis was Drake's coach for four seasons. He
left the bench before the 2007-08 season but stayed on as a special
assistant to Sandy Hatfield-Clubb.
Davis spent 32 years as a Division I head coach. He racked up
598 wins and led Drake to its first winning season in two decades
in 2006-07.
Davis was named The Associated Press coach of the year in 1987
while at Iowa. Keno Davis earned the honor last season.
