With SMU’s fight song blaring and in front of about 50 fans, family, current and former players watching at Moody Coliseum, SMU ushered in a new era of women’s basketball with the introduction of head coach Travis Mays Friday afternoon.
The man known for his bowtie had already updated his neckwear for the occasion. He sported a red and blue bowtie complete with the Peruna logo. He vowed to be active in the SMU and greater Dallas community and to continue the success the program had under former head coach Rhonda Rompola, who held the position for 25 years.
