On Monday, the Texas Longhorns basketball program announced the promotion of assistant coach Darrin Horn to a new position as associate head coach.
“Darrin is an extremely valuable member of our coaching staff,” head coach Shaka Smart said. “He continues to impact our program in a variety of ways, from recruiting to skill development to game planning. I’m grateful to have such a dependable and experienced voice to rely on.”
Horn joined Smart’s first staff in Austin following stints as the head coach at South Carolina and Western Kentucky. While coaching the Hilltoppers, Horn led the program to the Sweet 16 in 2008, his best result in nine season as a head coach.
