Now, it's going to be interesting if they do a basketball tournament this year.....

It didn't take long for former Troy High varsity basketball coach Greg Davis to land on his feet.

Davis will head across town to take over the same role at LaSalle, according to the Daily Gazette. He takes over for interim coach Joshua House, who stepped in when Jon Desso was bounced in February. Between the two coaches, the Cadets logged a 14-6 overall record (12-2 in the Colonial Council), finishing with a one-&-done in sectional play, losing to CBA.

Davis was 45-27 in three seasons at Troy, where, according to the Albany Times-Union, he will continue to teach history. Davis led the Flying Horses to a Suburban Council Grey division title and a Section II Class A title in 2019, resulting in his being named Large School Coach of The Year by the Times-Union after the 2018-9 season.

After a 4th place finish in the Grey division in 2019-20, Davis was notified that he would not be retained for a 4th season as coach, with his predecessor, Richard Hurley, returning to the bench after a 3 year hiatus. LaSalle will return a large core of players from the 2019-20 team, a squad that fell to Troy in the first round of the Uncle Sam Holiday Classic in December. The only question is whether or not Davis will employ his up-tempo offensive schematics at LaSalle.

It will be just as interesting to see if 1) there's a Holiday Classic this season, and 2)  LaSalle accepts an invitation to participate.

At least El Cheapo Media was finally able to get an interview with Davis, now that he's no longer operating under Troy High's media blackout against El Cheapo.

So will the student meet his teacher? Stay tuned.
