Emmett Davis, former Colgate University head coach, and current Tulsa assistant is our featured guest in this edition of The Passing Game with Fletcher Arritt.  Coach Davis was named to Doug Wojcik's Tulsa staff in May of this year and comes to the Goldin Hurricanes after 13 seasons as a head coach in the Patriot League.

Davis is Colgate's all-time winningest coach, where he accrued 165 wins from 1998-2011.  Colgate's best season under Davis came during the 2007-2008 season when the Raiders advanced to the Patriot League championship game and tied a school record for wins with 18.  Former Fork Union standout Kendall Chones was a starter on that squad.

Prior to becoming the head coach at Colgate, Davis spent 12 years as an assistant at The U.S. Naval Academy (1986-98).  During that time the program won four conference championships and four subsequent NCAA appearances.  At Navy he coached future NBA All-Star and 1986 NCAA Player of the Year, David Robinson.

Davis played under former Navy and Pittsburgh Head Coach Paul Evans while at St. Lawrence University. He began his coaching career in 1981 at his alma mater as a student assistant coach. Davis then served as a full-time assistant coach at St. Lawrence for three years (1981-84).  It is an honor to have him as our guest.
