The longest-tenured employee in the history of Temple Men’s Basketball, Essie Davis started her remarkable career in 1972 and stayed 40 years before retiring in 2012.

During her time in the men’s basketball office, she witnessed over 800 Owl wins, 35 postseason appearances, and countless student-athletes earn their degrees from Temple University.
