SAN ANTONIO (AP) -Keno Davis, who capped his first season as a head coach by leading Drake to its first NCAA appearance since 1971, has been selected The Associated Press men's college basketball coach of the year.
The 36-year-old Davis and his father, Tom, whom he succeeded at Drake, are the first father and son to win the national coach of the year award. Tom Davis was at Iowa when he won it in 1987.
Davis, an assistant to his father for four seasons, took a team picked to finish ninth in the Missouri Valley Conference to the league's regular-season and tournament titles and its first national ranking since 1975.
