Texas Tech men’s basketball coach Tubby Smith picked up the NABC District 8 Coach of the Year award announced Thursday by the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC).
He was named Sporting News National Coach of the Year and Big 12 Coach of the Year earlier this month.
Smith is now eligible for NABC National Coach of the Year which will be announced next week during NCAA Final Four weekend.
Smith guided the Red Raiders to a 19-13 record and a 9-9 mark in Big 12 action facing the nation’s toughest schedule during the regular season.
