Former Iowa women's basketball guard Molly Davis is taking her talents to the sidelines. The fan favorite has landed a new assistant coaching role at Eastern Kentucky University in the Atlantic Sun Conference (ASUN).

Davis joins the Colonels after spending the last two seasons at the University of Evansville, where she served as a graduate assistant before moving into an assistant coaching position. Eastern Kentucky comes off a standout 2025-26 campaign, finishing 25-9 overall and 15-3 in ASUN play, earning the conference's regular-season title and a WBIT invitation.

The move marks the next chapter for a player known for her championship pedigree. Davis spent two seasons as a point guard at Iowa, where she helped lead the Hawkeyes to back-to-back national championship games alongside superstar Caitlin Clark. In the 2023-24 season, she averaged 5.9 points, 3.0 assists, and 2.5 rebounds per game while shooting an impressive 53.9% from the field, 40.7% from three-point range, and 85.7% from the free-throw line.

Eastern Kentucky head coach Greg Todd couldn't hide his excitement about the hire. "Molly has been part of championship-level culture throughout her career," Todd said. "Playing in two national championship games alongside Caitlin Clark gave her experience very few young coaches can bring to a program. She understands the elite preparation, player development, toughness, and commitment it takes to compete for championships."

For Davis, this is a chance to bring that winning mindset to a rising ASUN program. It's a move that underscores how former players from powerhouse programs are increasingly shaping the next generation of college basketball—and it's a storyline fans will want to follow closely.
