S12E16 - The Storied Career of Scotty Davenport
Episode 16
Wednesday, 12 November, 2025
Episode Notes This week, it brings me great pleasure to feature an icon who has rightfully earned nicknames such as "The Unofficial Mayor of Louisville" and "The City's Coach"!! He is the legendary Scotty Davenport, who spent 20 seasons serving as head men's basketball coach of the Bellarmine Knights. Coach Davenport admirably guided the Knights to a Division II national championship in 2011, and an Atlantic Sun Conference title in 2022. But even before these, he served as an assistant at U of L under both Denny Crum and Rick Patino, and also won a state title in 1988 at Louisville's Ballard High School! Join Scotty as he describes his path to basketball as a child, relives his Ballard state title, and looks back at two household names he was privileged to coach at Ballard: Allan Houston and DeJuan Wheat. He also discusses various aspects of his assistant/head coaching days at the college level, and talks a bit about what's keeping him busy in retirement. After listening to Coach D, I know you'll agree that his passion is simply contagious! Feel free to drop him a line any time at sdavenport@bellarmine.edu.
