DENTON, Texas – Tez Dumars has been named assistant coach of North Texas women’s basketball, head coach Jalie Mitchell announced Tuesday. Dumars has served as the Founder and Executive Director of the West Texas Premier Basketball Club in Amarillo for the past two years.  

 “I am elated to announce the hiring of Tez Dumars”, Mitchell said. “He is a knowledgeable, hungry and growing young coach full of energy and excitement about the game, as well as the University of North Texas. His experience at different levels and relatability will help us a great deal in recruiting and player development. Tez is a star and proven winner, a welcome addition to our program!”

During his first year as a pro he averaged 18.5 points per game and shooting 38.7% from the field and 32.8% from three-point range. He spent the 2016-17 season in Limassol, Cyprus with ForexTime Apollon.

QUOTING ASSISTANT COACH DUMARS (@tezdumars2)

“I’m super thrilled to get the opportunity to coach at the University of North Texas. Ever since I was little, I wanted to be around the game whether it was playing or coaching. It’s a dream come true to coach at UNT considering it’s in my backyard. I’m excited to get to work!”

Interesting hire. It looks like he has been coaching the West Texas Premier Basketball Club in Amarillo for the past couple of years. They always seem to have good teams in that area. Hopefully he can bring some players.
