Following one of the most successful athletic years in school history, Texas Tech AD Kirby Hocutt is trying to ensure that the coaches responsible for that success remain part of the Red Raider family for the foreseeable future.
During the 2017-18 academic year, five Texas Tech athletic programs, men’s basketball, baseball, men’s golf, men’s track and field and women’s tennis reached at least the final eight of their respective postseason events.
In March, men’s basketball head coach Chris Beard received a 6-year, $19 million extension after he guided his team to the Elite 8 of the NCAA Tournament for the first time in program history.
