Daven Vo has been the lead assistant men's basketball coach at Eastern New Mexico University for three years over two playable seasons.
In 2022-23, he helped the team rank first in the Lone Star Conference in steals (8.2 spg), turnovers forced (16.76 pg), and rebounds (36.76 rpg). He coached six players who earned all-conference accolades - Errol White (second team all-LSC, all-defensive team), Jahcoree Ealy (second team all-LSC), Eze Dike (honorable mention all-LSC), Greg Johnson (honorable mention all-LSC), Jose Murillo (all-LSC freshman team), and Blazej Czerniewicz (all-LSC freshman team).
He helped the program to a 17-12 (12-10 LSC) mark and a trip to the Lone Star Conference tournament in Frisco, Texas. The twelve wins in league play are the most since the 1950's when the team was a member of the now-defunct Frontier Conference. Vo was responsible for managing team scouts, finances, and recruiting. He was crucial in aiding the Hounds to victories over then-No. 19 UT Tyler (12/15/22) and RV Angelo State (1/1/23).
With a 73-65 win over Texas A&M-Kingsville (1/21/23), ENMU won its 1000th game in program history. The program won its most games in a single season since the 2003-04 team with a 20-9 record.
In his first full season, Vo helped bring the Greyhounds to a 7-17 record including a win against #24 Oklahoma Baptist, 70-66 (11/27). Vo helped the growth of Kentrell Pullian, who would go on to win the Lone Star Conference Freshman of the Year honor for the 2021-22 season and land on the LSC All-Freshman team. Off the court, Vo helped conduct several youth camps and elite camps, along with coordinating a high school team camp, which attracted over 30 teams from across the southwest region.
Vo joined the Eastern New Mexico men's basketball coaching staff following a three-year tenure as the lead assistant at Butler Community College in El Dorado, Kansas and has accumulated 14 years of coaching experience at the NJCAA and NCAA levels. Vo served as the head basketball coach on both the men's and women's side at South Mountain Community College prior to his time at Butler Community College and was recently named a "Top 50 Most Impactful" junior college coach in the country.
Vo began his coaching career at the University of Oklahoma as a graduate assistant under head coach Jeff Capel before heading out west to the state of Arizona as an assistant coach on the staff at South Mountain Community College in 2007-08. Vo left South Mountain for a season to join the staff at Grand Canyon University before returning to the bench at South Mountain in 2009-10.
South Mountain captured the ACCAC Regular Season Championship in Vo's second season upon returning to the program in 2010-11 after posting a record of 27-5 for the year, the highest single-season win total in program history. Vo had a hand in the transfer of 16 student-athletes to four-year universities during that time frame and was a key piece in the development of five All-Conference student-athletes, three All-Americans and one Player of the Year.
His success as an assistant on the men's side led to his first tenure as a head coach on the women's side at South Mountain in which he led the program to a Regional Semifinals appearance after being named the head coach of the team in December, midway through the season. Vo led the program to a school record 17 wins the following season before making the move back over to the men's side in 2013, beginning a four-season tenure as the head men's basketball coach.
Vo led South Mountain to a pair of 20-plus win seasons in 2014-15 and 2015-16 and was named the Region I Coach of the Year after guiding the team to a final national ranking of no. 8 with a record of 22-14. He has served as the lead assistant at Butler Community College for the past three seasons, signing 30 student-athletes during those three recruiting periods while helping Butler to a record of 25-8 in 2019-20, and served as the program's Interim Head Coach during the final few weeks of the 2018-19 season.
Vo graduated with a degree in Informational Systems from St. Gregory's University in Shawnee, Okla. during which time he was named as an Academic All-Conference performer.
