The Chargers went 22-9 in 2018-19 with Davis on staff and were ranked as high as sixth in the NAIA Division II Men's Basketball Coaches' Poll.

Davis helped coach two NAIA All-Americans and five NAIA Scholar-Athletes during the year. Prior to Briar Cliff, Davis began his coaching career at NIACC in the fall of 2016. The Trojans went 16-15 that year and qualified for the NJCCA Region XI Tournament.  

Before joining the coaching ranks, Davis played at North Iowa Area Community College (NIACC), Washburn and Minot State University. Davis played two years at NIACC and was named first team all-region.
