"Lane Lord, a five-time conference and three-time NCAA Regional Coach of the Year who spent the last 11 years as the head coach at Pittsburg State, is the new head coach of the UTRGV women's basketball team."
Apparently Sheryl Swoopes wanted the job as well. I kinda wish we would have went that route. Would have had a Dan Majerle effect on the womens team.

Swoopes would have got us some favorable attention and recruiting.

But I can see why they went the way they did. Some of our best ever coaches (Todd Lowery for Volleyball and Bob Hoffman for MBB) were high-performing D-II coaches. It's a strategy that seems to work for us.
Apparently there will be a home game against UT Austin, which will be an interesting test. Looks like the Bert Ogden Arena (assuming the game is there) is having a good effect on the schedule.
