Men's basketball adds new assistant coach Chris Davis


Chris Davis’ return to the Central Michigan men’s basketball program didn’t take long.

After leaving for an assistant coaching position at Air Force last season, Davis returns as an assistant coach with the Chippewas after being the team’s video coordinator from 2016-17.

Davis has coaching experience that goes back 32 years when he started as a graduate assistant at CMU’s rival, Western Michigan in the 1986-87 season. 

Davis has been an assistant coach at Grand Valley State University, Kent State University, Drake, Providence UC Davis and WMU. Davis coached with CMU head coach Keno Davis at both Providence and Drake.

The Jackson native earned a bachelor's degree from the University of Michigan and a master’s degree in sports administration from WMU.

Former CMU assistant coach Kevin Gamble left the program for a advanced scouting position with the Toronto Raptors on Sept. 5. Davis joins Kyle Gerdeman and Jeff Smith as assistant coaches for the Chippewas.
