Curry’s coach at Davidson retires

Davidson coach Bob McKillop is retiring, ending a run that included coaching the Warriors’ Stephen Curry with the Wildcats and ranking among Division I men’s basketball’s winningest active coaches.

“Everything happens for a reason,” McKillop said Friday as he choked up. “Did you see Steph after the game last night?

He was crying, crying, tears. I thought that was a message to me: It’s OK to cry today.”

McKillop’s 33-year run at the school of fewer than 2,000 students north of Charlotte, N.C., included 634 wins and 10 trips to the NCAA Tournament.
