There's no masking the disappointment.
On the biggest night of Mike Davis Sr.'s professional life it's there, etched across his face, his expression an explanation. Moments earlier, the 41-year-old had taken Indiana University to the precipice of glory, only to watch Maryland claim the 2002 national championship. Twenty years later, as he examines the photo of the father holding his boy, he wonders who's coaching whom.
"I think about a son that, at that moment, loves his dad. Is comforting his dad. He was always that way," says the 61-year-old Davis, now the head coach at Detroit Mercy, before pivoting.
