The Life And Times of Tyrell Coley (CH2k8 Re-Start)

[Knickerbocker91]

Hamilton, NY -- Colgate University Athletic Director David Roach announced today that head basketball coach Emmett Davis was stepping down from his position after 12 years on the Raiders' sidelines. Davis has a 156-191 (.450) record as head coach at Colgate, the only school he has spent his coaching career at. Replacing Davis as head coach will be Tyrell Coley, a former high school varsity basketball coach at Thomas Edison High School in Queens, NY. Coley, while young (25 years old), has already built a name for himself in his four years at Edison, as the Inventors has made their way to the NYC A Division Championship in the last two seasons, winning once. He also has led the Inventors to three Queens Boro championships during his time. Only time will tell if Coley's skills will transfer to the college scene and prove he is truly ready for the rigors of D-I basketball.

"I am very humbled to be asked to take over here at Colgate." Coley said. "New York is a great basketball city and I know that the program here has what it takes to evolve as one of the better teams in the state, and eventually the country. The only place we want to go from here is up."

Colgate is coming off a 10-19 (6-8) season, finishing sixth in the eight team Patriot League. The schools only has two NCAA Tournament appearances in its history, making the tournament in the 1995 and 1996 seasons. They were bounced out in the first round on both occasions, losing to Kansas and UConn respectively.

Thanks. I wanted to play with a New York school, and Colgate and Army were to the only two options. I just didn't see myself as an Army game, and Colgate is a challenge within a challenge. Not only are they on the lower end of basketball schools, but they also don't have a lot of big men, something I always like to have when playing.

I'm looking forward to this season.
