Bloomington, Ind. — Rumors are flying that Mike Davis is headed to the Texas Tech bench following the 2005-06 NCAA basketball season.

An unnamed source quoted Davis as saying, “Things just haven’t been working out for the past few seasons. We get so close and wind up getting nowhere. After last year’s early NIT exit it was clear that this season would be held under the microscope. With our struggles towards the end of the season it was clear that I should move along sooner rather than later.”

But that’s not the big news.

The unnamed source said Davis went on to confide, “Coach Knight & I recently talked on the phone and he threw around the idea of me rejoining him on the bench of Texas Tech and in a recruiting role. Since we have both had lackluster seasons recently, that made perfect sense to me.”

Davis and Knight have both denied the rumors.
