Tania Davis is the Director of Player Development for the University of Iowa Women's Basketball Team. Prior to that, she was an Assistant Coach at the University of Nebraska-Omaha from 2021-2023, a Graduate Assistant at Clemson University from 2019-2021, and played at the University of Iowa from 2015-2019. She talks about growing up in Flint, Michigan, getting into basketball at a young age, her great career at Goodrich High School where the team went 100-8 in her 4 years, and the recruiting process that led her to choose Iowa. Tania discusses what it was like to play for Head Coach Lisa Bluder, being able to play right away, tearing her ACLs in back-to-back seasons her Sophomore and Junior year, the hard work she put in to get back, and realizing that she wanted to be a coach while she had to watch from the sidelines. She details the great season Iowa had in 2019 where they won the Big Ten Tournament and went to the Elite 8 and what it meant to her to be a 1,000 point scorer. Then, she talks about becoming a Graduate Assistant at Clemson, her duties in that role, her time as an Assistant Coach at Omaha, her reaction to getting the call to come back to Iowa, her role as Director of Player Development, and her excitement for the 2024 season.
