Mike Davis bounces back (finally)

Mike Davis is a good basketball coach, and he proved it, finally, at Texas Southern. He had been a top-notch assistant at one of the premier programs in the country (Indiana), and got promoted, but then got fired. Then he landed at UAB, and finally was knocked all the way to the bottom of the basketball ladder in the SWAC. But he was superlative in the SWAC, and so he got another chance, moving up to Detroit Mercy of the Horizon League. That is not the Big Ten, but the Horizon does play a pretty good brand of basketball, with teams like Wright State, Oakland, Milwaukee and Green Bay.
