Mornings
Head Coach Bob Davis Robert Davis begins his first season as head coach at LeTourneau University and is the school’s 19th head men’s basketball coach. Davis comes to LETU from Liberty University and the NCAA Division I level where he was the associate coach for the past three seasons. His three seasons at Liberty were some of the best in school history. During the 2002- 03 campaign, LU experienced the third best turnaround in the nation. In 2003-04, the team won the Big South Conference Championship and made the NCAA Tournament as a #16 seed. Prior to coaching at Liberty, Davis was a 15-year head coach at Eastern Wyoming College, a junior college located in Torrington, WY. He is the winningest coach in the school’s history and averaged 21 wins per season. His teams were the Wyoming Conference Champions nine times and were Region IX Champions twice. Eight different times Davis has been named the Region IX or WCCAC Coach of the Year. He was also the national Fellowship of Christian Athletes camp basketball director at Wyoming for seven years. Davis began his coaching career at the high school level in 1974 and quickly moved up the ladder. He coached the Chinese Junior Olympic Team for eight weeks at the Colorado Springs Olympic Training Center in 1979-80. He served as an assistant coach at Colorado State University and was a head coach for six years at Chadron State College. Davis inherits a team that lost three seniors to graduation, but was freshman dominated. The YellowJackets finished 5-20 last season, but lost 12 games by ten points or less. The challenge for Davis will be getting the Jackets over the hump. “I am looking forward to building a program that will measure up to the excellence of the rest of LeTourneau University,” said Davis. “I am excited about being a head coach again, particularly at LETU where the administration is authentic about their Christian walk.” Assistant Coaches Michael Lewis will serve as Davis’ top assistant this year. Their relationship dates back to Lewis’ playing days at Eastern Wyoming College where Davis coached Lewis. An all-state point guard at Aurora Central High School in Colorado, Lewis played a year at both Florida International University and Metro State after playing at EWC. He served as team captain at EWC and led the team to its first Region IX tournament championship. After his playing days, he coached at Aurora Central for five years and has worked numerous Denver Nuggets basketball camps run by NBA head coaches Bernie Bickerstaff and Mike Brown. Lewis’ main responsibilities are the guards. His focus is on defense and instilling floor leadership skills to the guards. He is also highly involved in the recruiting process for the basketball program. Daniel McGraner will serve as the team’s graduate assistant coach. He played the previous two seasons for the YellowJackets and prior to that he played at Edison Community College. McGraner was one of the top three-point shooters for the team and finished his career shooting 36.0% from behind the arc. During his senior season he served as one of LETU’s captains.
