Timeline

1942

Richard James Davey Jr. (born April 5, 1942) is a retired American college basketball coach.

1960

After graduating from Ceres Union in 1960, Davey attended the College of the Pacific (later University of the Pacific) in Stockton, playing on the varsity basketball team at guard from 1961 to 1964 and varsity baseball from 1962 to 1964.

1963

Under head coach Dick Edwards in 1963–64, Davey averaged 9.0 points and 4.5 rebounds in 26 games on a 15–11 Pacific Tigers men's basketball team.

On the Pacific Tigers baseball team, Davey earned All-West Coast Athletic Conference honors in 1963 and 1964.

1964

Davey graduated from Pacific with a Bachelor of Arts in education in 1964.

After graduating, Davey played minor league baseball in the San Francisco Giants farm system as a catcher and outfielder, for the Decatur Commodores in 1964 and Magic Valley Cowboys in 1965.

Davey played 60 games in his minor league baseball career, batting .172 with 23 RBI.

Davey retired from baseball due to an injury.

Davey's coaching career unexpectedly began in grad school when he was charged with starting the University of Pacific Men's soccer team.

Davey's response was that "he didn't know a soccer ball from a ping-pong" ball but he'd give it his best effort.

Over the next three years, without any scholarships and virtually no budget, Davey built a team that went 15-12, defeated perennial power Santa Clara University, and gave City College of San Francisco its third loss in seven seasons.

1966

In November 1966 Davey announced he wouldn't be returning and moved to his first love, basketball.

1967

From 1967 to 1972, Davey was the head basketball coach at Leland High School in San Jose, California.

1971

Davey went 61–53 in five seasons at Leland, with a third-place finish in the 1971 Central Coast Section playoffs in his final season there.

1972

Reuniting with his former Pacific coach Dick Edwards, from 1972 to 1977, Davey was an assistant coach at the University of California, Berkeley under Edwards.

1977

Davey moved to Santa Clara University in 1977 and served as assistant to longtime Broncos head coach Carroll Williams.

Davey would serve as Williams's top assistant for 15 years, during which Santa Clara had 10 winning seasons including six 20-win seasons.

1980

Santa Clara's most successful stretch in that era was in the 1980s with winning records in all but the 1985–86 season.

The 1980s for Santa Clara also had four NIT appearances in 1984, 1985, 1988, and 1989 and an appearance in the 1987 NCAA tournament.

1992

Davey is best known for being head men's basketball coach at Santa Clara University from 1992 to 2007.

On September 9, 1992, Davey was promoted to head coach after Williams became athletic director at Santa Clara.

Before the season began, Davey headed to Victoria, B.C. Canada to watch an unheralded and virtually unknown guard, Steve Nash play at St. Michael's Academy.

Davey says that he watched thirty seconds of warmups before worriedly looking around for other coaches.

In a rather irregular recruiting tactic Davey told Nash's coach, loud enough so Nash could hear, "He might be one of the worst defenders I've ever seen."

Nash still came to Santa Clara the next fall.

In his first season, Davey's Broncos finished third but won the WCC tournament and became a 15 seed.

1993

In what oddmakers say is the fifth greatest upset in tournament history, Santa Clara became the second 15 seed to win in the first round, defeating an NBA laden #2 seed Arizona 64–61 on March 18, 1993.

1995

Led by future NBA MVP Steve Nash, Santa Clara would go on to win the West Coast Conference regular season title in 1995 and 1996 and qualified for the NCAA Tournament both years.

Santa Clara signed Davey to a contract extension on March 29, 1995.

1996

The 10-seed Broncos beat Maryland in the first round in 1996.

1997

After Nash moved on to the NBA, Santa Clara won a third straight WCC regular season title in 1997, this time led by senior guard Marlon Garnett.

Santa Clara would continue to have consistent winning seasons under Davey, with an 18–10 record in 1997–98, 19–12 in 1999–2000, and 20–12 in 2000–01.

However, the program went on a downturn afterward going just 70-78 over the next five seasons.

2002

Santa Clara would finish the 2002–03 season 13–15 (4–10 WCC) but improved to 16–16 (8–8 WCC) in 2003–04.

2003

On January 7, 2003, CollegeInsider.com named Davey the Mid-Season Coach of the Year for achieving a 9–4 start to the season with an injury-depleted roster where multiple walk-ons took over starting roles.

2004

The 2004–05 Broncos started 3–1 following an upset of no. 4 and eventual national champion North Carolina on November 19 in the Pete Newell Challenge at The Arena in Oakland.

2008

Most recently, Davey was the associate head men's basketball coach at Stanford University under head coach Johnny Dawkins from 2008 to 2012 and helped Stanford win the 2012 National Invitation Tournament.

Born in San Francisco, Davey grew up in Ceres, California.

His father, also named Dick Davey, played college basketball at Modesto Junior College and the University of San Francisco and was later a basketball coach at Ceres Union High School.

At Ceres Union High, Davey played on three sports teams as a football quarterback, basketball guard, and baseball catcher.
