In recent news about Texas Longhorns basketball, head coach Rodney Terry has not yet met athletics director Chris Del Conte. Houston Chronicle reporter Kirk Bohls reports they will meet on Monday. This talk comes after a tough season and raises questions about Terry’s future with the team.
Texas had a wild season that ended with a trip to the First Four of the NCAA Tournament. They faced Xavier, whose coach is Sean Miller. The Longhorns had a big lead but then lost to Miller’s team. Their season closed with a 19–16 record, ending 79–73 against Xavier. After the loss, many questioned Terry’s role with the team.
After the game, Jeff Goodman from The Field of 68 noted that Texas is likely to make a change regarding Terry’s future. Before Terry took the head coach job last season, Del Conte had seriously considered Miller. Miller could have been a candidate if Texas had looked for a new leader.
Miller called the game “one of the greatest games I’ve been a part of.” He stressed how competitive the match was and how it sealed Texas’s fate in the tournament.
Fans and experts now watch closely as Terry and Del Conte plan their meeting. Their discussion may shape the future of Texas basketball. Stay tuned for updates on this developing story.
