Texas Tech basketball coach Chris Beard hired by Texas, reports say
A Texas Tech official confirmed the news to the Avalanche-Journal. This time, though, he won't be a student assistant under Tom Penders — he'll get to sit at the front of the bench inside a brand-new arena scheduled to open in the spring of 2022. Beard would become the 25th coach in Longhorns' history, replacing Shaka Smart who took the same position with Marquette on March 26.
