Lincoln Memorial University Athletics

Entering his third season with the Railsplitters, Davis Fisher was promoted to a full-time assistant position in the summer of 2014 after spending one season with Lincoln Memorial as a volunteer/graduate assistant coach.
 
In his first year on the sidelines for the Lincoln Memorial men’s basketball program in 2013-14, Fisher played an instrumental role in the Railsplitters capturing their second straight South Atlantic Conference regular season title while breaking the league’s single-season record for wins and winning percentage with a 28-3 overall mark.
 
The Railsplitters exceeded those numbers in Fisher’s first season as a full-time assistant coach in 2014-15, accumulating a 30-3 overall record to reset their own SAC single-season record for wins and winning percentage. In the process, the Railsplitters also became the first SAC program to win three consecutive league championships and host the NCAA Division II Southeast Regional.
 
A 2013 graduate of North Carolina, Fisher’s responsibilities within the men’s basketball program include film exchange, equipment management, recruiting, scouting, on-court coaching, player development, and assisting with the team’s academic progress among various other duties.
 
While at UNC, Fisher was a student manager for the men’s basketball program for three seasons after transferring from High Point University.  During that three-year span the Tar Heels won the ACC regular season championship in back-to-back seasons (2011-2012 and 2012-2013) and reached the Elite 8 of the NCAA tournament in both of those seasons. In his final year with the program, Davis saw the Heels finish third in the ACC and reach the second round of the NCAA tournament.  Davis stood alongside the legendary Coach Roy Williams as collected his 700th win in fewer seasons than any other coach in NCAA history.  During his time as a manager, his primary responsibilities included assisting the team with practice, games, travel, and other events such as camps, clinics and community outreach.  Fisher was a part of Carolina teams that saw five players drafted in the 2012 and 2013 NBA drafts (Harrison Barnes, Kendall Marshall, John Henson, Tyler Zeller and Reggie Bullock), while being involved with one of the most storied programs in college basketball history.  
 
He served in the same capacity during his two years at High Point University while also having a more expanded role within the men’s basketball program.  Some of his responsibilities included team travel, practice duties, equipment management, video scouting and editing, and various administrative responsibilities.  He also helped set up, organize, work and coach at the individual and team summer camps for HPU.   
 
Fisher has worked numerous basketball camps throughout his career including North Carolina, Davidson, Elon, High Point, and various high school camps.  He also helped coach the 17U Cary Cougars during the summer of 2011.  A native of Chapel Hill, N.C., Fisher graduated from UNC with a degree in Exercise and Sport Science with a concentration in Sport Administration.  He played varsity basketball under Coach Greg Burton at Cardinal Gibbons in Raleigh, N.C., graduating in 2008.  His parents Rob and Melrose Fisher both graduated from North Carolina as well and he has an older brother, Robbie, who played collegiate soccer at Guilford College (’09).  In addition, Fisher is pursuing an MBA degree from LMU and will graduate in 2015.
