| HEAD COACH MIKE DAVIS |
Mike Davis, head coach at Texas Southern, has informed administration officials there he intends to leave for Detroit Mercy, a Texas Southern athletics official told a Houston TV station on Tuesday night.
Dr. Charles McClelland, vice president of intercollegiate athletics at Texas Southern, told Houston TV reporter Mark Berman that Davis informed him of his decision Tuesday afternoon.
"He's done a tremendous job at Texas Southern University," McClelland told Berman, sports director for Fox 26 (KRIV). "We owe him a great debt of gratitude for all that he's done. I know he's going to do well there. It's going to be a huge loss for Texas Southern.
"From our perspective it's a sad day, but also a happy day for Coach Davis and his family."

HOUSTON -- Mike Davis is moving on to the next challenge.
Davis, who led Texas Southern to its first ever NCAA Tournament win in March, informed the school Tuesday that he plans to step down and take the head coaching job at Detroit Mercy.
"We owe him a great debt of gratitude for all that he's done," said Dr. Charles McClelland, TSU's vice president for intercollegiate athletics.
A national search will begin immediately for a new coach.
Davis led the Tigers to the NCAA Tournament four times in the last five years, including this past season when TSU beat North Carolina Central 64-46 in the First Four for the school's first victory in eight appearances.
After being knocked out of the tournament with a loss to No. 1 seed Xavier, Davis said TSU was "where I'm supposed to be as a coach."
