Bobby Hurley added former UMASS assistant coach Rasheen Davis in the fall of 2019, as the addition to the program brings strong east coast ties.
Davis was a part of the highly-successful VCU staff in 2015-16 that had Atlantic 10 All-Conference First Team selection Melvin Johnson, who became the Rams’ all-time leader in three-point field goals . On the defensive side, Davis helped develop VCU’s 2-2-1 zone press, which helped the Rams to 51 victories and a pair of NCAA Tournament berths over his two seasons with the squad.
Davis was the associate head coach at Manhattan College for three seasons from 2012-15, during which the Jaspers won 58 games, took home the 2014 and 2015 MAAC Tournament Championship titles and advanced to a pair of NCAA Tournament appearances.
Davis coached at Xavier under Chris Mack for two seasons, when the Musketeers secured back-to-back NCAA Tournament berths in 2011 and 2012. Davis helped the program to 47 wins during his two seasons, including 25 in the A-10. He helped mentor seven all-conference choices and guided Tu Holloway to the 2011 Atlantic 10 Player of the Year Award and all-America status.
Davis brings a well-rounded resume to Tempe, including time spent as a program assistant at Louisville (2007-08), video coordinator at Pittsburgh (2008-09), assistant coach at St. Thomas Aquinas College (2002-05) and a coach at the high school and AAU level for Rice High School (N.Y.) from 2005-07 and the New York Gauchos, respectively.
Davis earned a bachelor’s degree in social science from St. Thomas Aquinas in 2002 and received his master’s degree in guidance and counseling from the College of New Rochelle in 2005.
