Davis out at Colgate

Colgate basketball coach Emmett Davis has been released from his contract by athletic director David Roach.

The 51-year-old Davis, who succeeded the late Jack Bruen in 1998, leaves with an overall record in 13 seasons of 165-212 in his only stint as a head coach. His victory total is a school record.

Davis led the Raiders to the Patriot League Championship game in 2008, tying a school record for wins in a season with 18 in 2007-08.

The Raiders finished the 2010-11 season 7-23 overall and 4-10 in the Patriot. They will return all but one player next season.
