Nikki Davis
- Title:
- Assistant Coach
Assistant coach Nikki Davis joined the Dukes' staff in August 2004. She is in charge of guard play, coordinates the scouting of JMU's opponents, and is the team's academic liaison.
Davis came to JMU from Columbus (Ga.) State University, where she was the head assistant coach in 2003-04. She was formerly on the staff at Auburn from 2001-03, where she was the program's scouting coordinator.
At Auburn, Davis worked with the guards and was responsible for video editing and helping to compile scouting reports on the team's opponents. In 2003 she was a part of the Tigers' Women's National Invitational Tournament championship team.
A 2001 graduate of Michigan State, Davis was a guard on the Spartans’ team for three seasons (1997-00), but during her playing career she was hampered by injuries. (She underwent three knee surgeries, including two to repair torn anterior cruciate ligaments.) Davis played only seven games one season (1998-99) and was sidelined for her senior season (2000-01). That year Davis served as a student assistant coach under Michigan State head coach Joanne P. McCallie, and she says that experience influenced her decision to enter the coaching profession.
At Brighton High School Davis was a three-time first-team all-state basketball player, two-time Ann Arbor area Player of the Year, and she was a Miss Michigan Basketball candidate in 1997.
She was named to both the Detroit News and Detroit Free Press All-Metro team in 1996. Davis finished her three years at Brighton with totals of 1,245 points, 434 assists and 341 steals. She was also a member of the Motor City Blazers AAU team that won the state championship and went on to finish fifth at the AAU National Tournament in 1997.
She was also a two-time all-state selection in softball at Brighton, where she played for the school's 1997 state runner-up team.
Davis holds a bachelor's degree in business administration/pre-law from Michigan State.
