Rasheen Davis joined the VCU sideline prior to the 2015-16 season after spending three years on Steve Masiello's staff at Manhattan.

"Bottom line is that Rasheen has been a winner at everywhere he has been," Wade said. "He's been able to attract great players on the recruiting trail and does a great job building relationships with those guys. He'll really help us in developing our wings and guards."

Davis played a critical role in the development of All-Atlantic 10 Conference First Team guard Melvin Johnson, who became VCU's all-time leader in 3-point field goals during the 2015-16 season. Davis has also been pivotal in the installation of VCU's 2-2-1 zone press. 

A Bronx, New York native, Davis served as associate head coach at Manhattan, where the Jaspers won two straight Mid-American Athletic Conference (MAAC) Championships in 2014 and 2015, and advanced to the NCAA Tournament. During the 2013-14 season, Davis helped guide the Jaspers to a 25-8 season, highlighted by the programs first MAAC Championship in 10 years.

No stranger to the Atlantic 10, Davis spent two seasons as an assistant at Xavier under Chris Mack, where the Musketeers made back-to-back NCAA Tournament appearances, including a trip to the Sweet Sixteen (2011-12). He helped guide Xavier to a 47-21 record and a 25-7 mark in the A10, while also mentoring seven All-Conference selections, including two-time First Team recipient, and 2011 Atlantic 10 Player of the Year and All-American honoree Tu Holloway.

Davis joined the Division I coaching ranks in 2007-08 as a program assistant under Rick Pitino at the University of Louisville. The Cardinals went 27-9 that season and advanced to the Elite Eight. Before his time at Xavier, Davis spent time at the University of Pittsburgh as the video coordinator in 2008-09, which was the season the Panthers earned a No. 1 national ranking and advanced to the NCAA Tournament East Regional Final.

Davis also spent time at the high school and AAU level, but his coaching tenure started at his alma mater, St. Thomas Aquinas College. He earned his bachelor's degree in social science from St. Thomas Aquinas in 2002 and received his master's degree in guidance and counseling from the College of New Rochelle in 2005.
