Over his first nine seasons at the helm Davis has guided the Panthers to more wins than any other coach in program history. Last season the Panthers won 18 games this was something that hasn’t been done in 25 years. He has guided 15 players to All-Conference honors during his time at Neosho County. His team also continues to excel in the classroom as they have achieved a 3.0 or better each year and 34 players have been named to the NJCAA Academic All-American teams.
Coach Davis' program seeks to build on players core values each and every year. Davis believes in The Neosho Way which revolves around four Core Values: Serve, Honor, Compete and Now.
The Neosho Way:
-Serve: A commitment to serving others before ourselves.
-Honor: A commitment to doing everything with an unconditional love for others.
-Compete: A commitment to getting 1% better, in the classroom, on the court, and in our dreams of everyday life.
-Now: A commitment to living in the now.
Before coming to Neosho, Davis spent three seasons at Brown Mackie College where he served as the head assistant coach for both the women's and men's teams. Prior to his arrival at Brown Mackie, the Lions women's team had recorded one 20 win season in their 19 year history. After Davis joined the staff, the Lions posted 3 straight 20 win seasons and were ranked in the NJCAA National Poll each season. Davis's teams are known for their ability to score the basketball. During his final two seasons at Brown Mackie, the women's team ranked in the top 20 nationally in scoring each year. The Lions also ranked in the top 20 nationally in team defense during the 2011-2012 campaign.
Davis began his coaching career over two seasons at Cedar Vale-Dexter High School. While there he guided the Spartans to a sub-state championship while sending five of his athletes on to play collegiate athletics.
