Chattanooga’s bruising forward who owned the glass
In the 2008-09 season, Nicchaeus Doaks was the kind of frontcourt anchor coaches love: a 6-7, 239-pound senior who averaged 13.7 points and 8.6 rebounds while leading Chattanooga in rebounding and defensive boards[1][8]. He paired efficient scoring with toughness, finishing at 51.1% from the field and ranking among the team’s most reliable interior options[1][8]. The bigger takeaway: this was a high-motor, physical, do-everything forward whose production, durability, and rebound dominance made him a genuine fit for teams needing grit, second-chance creation, and steady veteran presence[1][9].
