For the first time in three years, Texas Tech men’s basketball has the same head coach for the second consecutive season.
It helps that it’s Tubby Smith, who’s entering his 24th season as a head coach with a national title and 525 wins under his belt.
“Consistency and continuity is the key to any program that has had a long tradition and has built tradition and success over a long period of time,” Smith said. “You’ll find that a coach has been in place for a long period of time, and they’ve been able to grow their program.”
