Ole Miss officially announces Kermit Davis as new men’s basketball coach, to be introduced Monday

Kermit Davis is the new Ole Miss men’s basketball coach, the university announced in a statement Thursday. He will be publicly introduced 5:30 p.m. Monday in The Pavilion.

This comes a little more than a month after Andy Kennedy officially resigned mid-season, which immediately began a coaching search.

“After assessing the entire landscape of college basketball and speaking to basketball experts across the country to determine the greatest fit for Ole Miss Basketball, the answer was clear – Kermit Davis is the best coach and best leader to take our program to the next level in the SEC and NCAA,” athletics director Ross Bjork said.
