TSU Basketball Coach Mike Davis gets 4-year contract

HOUSTON, Texas  --  Less than three months after being named the interim basketball coach at Texas Southern University, Mike Davis agreed to a four-year contract with the Tigers.  The contract is scheduled to be presented for approval at a meeting on Friday of TSU's board of regents.

"We're ecstatic as a university to be able to reach a four-year agreement with Coach Davis," said Charles McClelland, TSU's athletics director, in an interview with FOX 26 Sports. "This is another sign of the university's athletics program moving in a positive direction.

"Coach Davis is an outstanding coach and we know he'lll do a great job for us over the next four years and beyond."

It did not take long for McClelland to determine that Davis, former coach at Indiana and UAB, is the right coach for the job.

"He's a great fit," McClelland said. "His transition into the university and the athletics program has been seamless. The student-athletes have jelled around him."
