Texas head coach Shaka Smart will return to Austin next season, athletic director Chris Del Conte told the American-Statesman's Brian Davis on Friday.
“Shaka’s our coach,” Del Conte said. “Nothing’s changed. We won five of the last six down the stretch, finished third in the conference. We have a good team coming back. Nothing’s changed on my end.”
Smart is 90-78 in five seasons at Texas, arriving in Austin after achieving great success with VCU. But he has never been in Big 12 title contention or won a NCAA tournament game with the Longhorns.
