OU basketball: Lew Hill, UTRGV head coach and former Sooners assistant, dies at 55

“It’s not just about basketball because if basketball is all I could give him then I’m no good for him,” Hill said of Cousins in 2014. “I’ve got to give him life lessons that I messed up on that I can help him with. I just want to be a person that he can trust, that he can talk to about anything.”

After the Sooners' Final Four run in 2016, Hill took over at UTRGV, where he went 67-77 over the last five seasons.

The Vaqueros were off to an 8-4 start this season, falling at Texas Southern 77-75 on Saturday night.
