Two reasons to worry about every opposing NCAA coach 

1. Fifteenth-seeded Santa Clara stunned No. 2 Arizona in a 1993 first-round game in Salt Lake City. The Broncos were coached by Dick Davey, who was in his first year as a head coach. He previously served 20 years as an assistant at Cal and Santa Clara. Career highlight: the Pacific alumnus was a .172-hitting minor league catcher in the San Francisco Giants system. He retired from coaching in 2013 after serving as a Stanford assistant.
