DAVIDSON, N.C. — Davidson head women's basketball coach Michele Savage was invited to be part of a professional panel as part of the Black Coaches & Administrators Conference in Orlando, Fla., May 23.
Savage, who just competed her second year at Davidson during the 2011-12 season, was on a panel with Minnesota men's basketball coach Tubby Smith, Louisville's head football coach Charlie Strong along with Craig Littlepage, Director of Athletics at the University of Virginia and Kelly Mehrtens, who is the Deputy Director of Athletics at the U. of Maryland. Their panel discussed the professional journey of sports.
The Black Coaches & Administrators is a non-profit organization whose primary purpose is to foster the growth and development of ethnic minorities at all levels of sports both nationally and internationally. The BCA is committed to creating a positive enlightened environment where issues can be examined closely, debated sincerely and resolved honestly. The BCA's focus involves the concerns of its colleagues in professional sports, NCAA (Division I, II, and III), NAIA (Division I and II), junior college and high school levels.
The BCA was founded in 1988. Throughout the BCA's 20-year history, the organization has been at the forefront of the effort to enhance the employment opportunities and professional development of the ethnic minority professional. While maintaining this original mission, the BCA has continued to view the immediate and future concerns of the association within the framework of our rapidly evolving society.
Davidson had one of its best seasons during Savage's second year. She guided the Wildcats to a 22-10 record and a school-record 17-3 in SoCon play as they captured the program's first regular season SoCon title. She was honored by her peers and the media as she was named the SoCon Coach of the Year. Savage also had the privilege of coaching the SoCon Player of the Year and Defender of the Year Sophia Aleksandracivius.
The 'Cats return 12 letterwinners for the 2012-13 campaign, including Aleksandravicius and All-SoCon First Team member Laura Murray. Of the 12 letterwinners who return, four of them were starters a season ago.
