Texas regents authorize new hire

[Harry]

AUSTIN, Texas -- University of Texas regents on Monday authorized hiring a new women's basketball coach after a short search that has zeroed in on North Texas coach Karen Aston to lead the Longhorns.

The regents granted president William Powers or women's athletic director Chris Plonsky the power to execute a contract.

The motion to authorize the hire did not mention any names. The Associated Press first reported last week that Aston spent two days on campus last week interviewing with Powers and school officials. She was the only known candidate to visit Austin.

A person with direct knowledge of the pending hire said a formal announcement of the new coach will likely not be made before Tuesday.

Now is the time for UNT to make a counter-offer.

Pointless. The whorns are supposedly her dream job, for whatever reason. I don't think she is staying no matter what we do.

Now, I do think we should be raising all sorts of hell IF tu didn't ask permission or give her permission to talk to other schools.

Uh, Rudy, I was kinda saying that in jest.

Why this woman couldn't have waited it out at Charlotte for her career opportunity is beyond me. Hopefully she'll make enough money to move her family closer. Good riddance!

Signed

Screwed and used again

Buh bye. You're welcome for being close to your family and being paid while padding your resume.
