Texas Southern athletic director Charles McClelland said he would explore all possible options for an interim men’s basketball coach when Tony Harvey resigned for personal reasons on July 3.

Few observers, if any, expected those options would include a coach with a Final Four on his résumé.

But that’s what TSU ended up with Thursday when Mike Davis, who led Indiana to the 2002 national championship game one season after replacing legendary coach Bobby Knight and guided UAB to four consecutive postseason appearances from 2007-11, accepted an offer to become the Tigers’ interim coach.

Davis, 51, will be formally introduced at a news conference Friday at the Sheraton Suites near the Galleria.
