MURFREESBORO, Tenn. - Middle Tennessee head men's basketball coach Kermit Davis will serve as the featured speaker on Monday at the Birmingham Tip Off Club luncheon.
The organization was founded in 1973 with the purpose of helping restore, educate and advance the game of basketball in the greater Birmingham area. Some of the organization's very first speakers included basketball greats Adolph Rupp, Bobby Knight, Dale Brown and Babe McCarthy.
Davis will follow a list of recent Tip Off Club guests that includes Vanderbilt men's basketball head coach Kevin Stallings, Alabama men's basketball head coach Avery Johnson, former NBA head coach Del Harris and Fox Sports NCAA football and basketball sportscaster Tim Brando.
"The Birmingham Tip Off Club is one of the great southern sports traditions," Davis stated. "It is an honor to be a part of an outstanding list of speakers and to have the opportunity to promote Middle Tennessee men's basketball."
Later in the year, Auburn men's basketball head coach Bruce Pearl and SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey will also join the prestigious list of speakers at the Birmingham Tip Off Club.
The luncheon will take place at Noon in the Harbert Center, the home of several civic organizations, meetings and events within the Birmingham area.
Davis currently has the Blue Raiders at 17-6 on the season with a 9-2 record in Conference USA play, just one game behind league leader UAB.
