And yet, Ricky’s negatives were enough to balance out his positives. Ricky was all about....Ricky.

Maybe Ricky will be Iowa's coach one day.

"At first it was crazy, like, 'What are you doing here?' " he said.
He was an unconventional hire as an outsider who lacked coaching experience taking over a program that has 24 state tournament appearances overall and four championships since 1997. Whoever got the job faced the unenviable assignment of following an icon in Minnesota prep basketball.
Davis wasn't deterred.
"I'm walking into a program that is already established," he said.
He got the itch to coach after attending a coaching clinic held in conjunction with a showcase event for the top 100 high school players nationally. Davis attended those clinics for six years, then began looking for coaching opportunities.

It was a surprise when Davis took over North's boys basketball program. He explains: "I fell in love with the development of the kids."

Murray was nowhere near this good as a freshman.

Well he certainly didn’t get the minutes to be able to tell.

Now why would you say that ...



(As a bonus the admonishment from the mother at the end is hilarious)

Facts don’t.

People can change (thankfully)...but the facts are the facts. Glad Ricky has found his niche.

Yeah

He's impressive.

Needs to put on some muscle for next year and he will really be a monster around the basket.
In fact, many of Iowa's smaller, leaner players would benefit from a solid summer weight training program. Skip the "summer leagues" and work on building up muscle/stamina.

This is what Keegan Murray is saying has made the biggest difference for him in his NBA improvement.

Fran likes his players to be rails.

A solid idea for BT banging.

Ricky Davis

He could do things athletically that nobody at Iowa has been able to since.

Keegan was every bit as athletic
