Chris Beard of Texas Tech...former North Texas Assistant

[Big E]

I’m not sure if this has been mentioned by anyone, but I saw this week that Chris Beard, head coach of Texas Tech men’s basketball, had been an assistant coach at North Texas from 1997 - 1999.  That’s pretty cool!

In the early years of the Vic Trilli era.

Another Chris Beard trivia tidbit, he coached Chris Jones after he transferred to Angelo State.

he was also coached by Mike Kundstadt (GASO and TexasHoops fame) his freshman and sophomore year at Irving High.  He had the Chancellor of TTU fly Mike out to the tournament in the Chancellor's own plane.  I remember his name (Beard) being tossed around when we were hoping to term Benford one year early.  Wow howJim should be eating some serious crow right now.

UNT great Chris Davis recently said Chris Beard being the one who picked him up at the airport.  He says he knew he would be a good coach.

I hadn't picked Texas Tech to get past Buffalo to be honest. Awesome run the Red Raiders made and as a general supporter of Texas teams when they make it far, I was disappointed they didn't finish it off. But seemed like everyone outside of Virginia was rooting for the Red Raiders.
