Coach Davis, while working with Head Coach Darren Eubanks, has helped guide the Lady Hawks Basketball program to three consecutive UIL Regional appearances and 14-5A District Championships in 2019, 2020, and 2021.

As a basketball player, Coach Davis was one of the most dynamic players in the University North Texas basketball history. Coach Davis finished his career as the second all-time leading scorer in school history with 2,254 points. In 2008, Coach Davis was selected for the University of North Texas Athletics Hall of Fame. He was a three-time all-conference selection and the 1999-2000 Big West Freshman of the Year after scoring 21.7 points a game.

He was the nation’s 14th leading scorer that year and the second-leading freshman scorer in the country.

That year Davis was a unanimous pick to the first-team all-conference selection and was named to the second-team District 9 squad by the National Association of Basketball Coaches. He scored 22.5 points a game that year and finished the season ranked No. 9 in the NCAA in scoring.

Coach Davis played professional basketball for ten seasons in France before beginning his career as a coach and teacher. Coach Davis is married to Tamika Davis and they have three children Breanna, Ciarra, and Chris Jr.
