     DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - First-year Drake coach Keno Davis, who
led the Bulldogs to their first NCAA Tournament appearance in 37
years, is the Henry Iba (EYE'-buh) coach of the year by the U.S.
Basketball Writers Association.
     Davis led the 16th-ranked Bulldogs to a 28-4 record and the
Missouri Valley Conference's regular-season and tournament titles.

Award. Last week, he was named Coach of the Year by the Sporting
